"Statistical multiplexing" in this context means data flows sharing a 
transmission link without being allocated a fixed proportion of the 
bandwidth, as distinct from TDM and FDM. So, in practice, packet 
switching based on addressing etc information in the headers. It's 
probably a misuse of "statistical" but taking a word and giving it a new 
meaning without paying much attention to its existing meaning is nothing 
new in our industry.
