The forwarding of the packet is done based on the contents of the labels, which allows " protocol-independent packet forwarding " that does not need to look at a protocol-dependent routing table and avoids the expensive IP longest prefix match at each hop.

Single-sideband modulation avoids this bandwidth doubling, and the power wasted on a carrier, at the cost of increased device complexity and more difficult tuning at the receiver.

The Willie Wagtail is at home in a wide variety of habitats, but avoids densely forested areas such as rainforest.

Positioned above the atmosphere, Hubble avoids atmospheric airglow allowing it to take more sensitive visible and ultraviolet light images than can be obtained with seeing-limited ground-based telescopes ( when good adaptive optics correction at visible wavelengths becomes possible, 10 m ground-based telescopes may become competitive ).

Value added tax ( VAT ) in theory avoids the cascade effect of sales tax by taxing only the value added at each stage of production.

He tries to read and answer all his mail by himself and finds that the volume is too much and he needs to rely on secretaries ; he is exasperated with his ministers and has them arrested, but soon realises that he does not know enough to govern by himself, and is forced to release the ministers and institute constitutional monarchy ; when a war breaks out he does not accept being shut up in his palace, but slips away and joins up, pretending to be a peasant boy-and narrowly avoids becoming a POW ; he takes the offer of a friendly journalist to publish for him a " royal paper "-and finds much later that he gets carefully edited news and that the journalist is covering up the gross corruption of the young king's best friend ; he tries to organise the children of all the world to hold processions and demand their rights – and ends up antagonising other kings ; he falls in love with a black African princess and outrages racist opinion ( by modern standards, however, Korczak's depiction of blacks is itself not completely free of stereotypes which were current at the time of writing ); finally, he is overthrown by the invasion of three foreign armies and exiled to a desert island, where he must come to terms with reality – and finally does.
