Can we upgrade packet without changing the configuration or reinstalling.
Each Linode host only has Linodes of a given size. When you upgrade, your disk image is moved to another host (and enlarged appropriately). The Linode's IP address(es) (and possibly the matching gateway settings) change - nothing else.
The IP address doesn't have to change if you're moving to another host in the same datacentre - this might mean a longer wait while a slot is freed up but the IP can still be migrated across.
Things like RAM and hard disk can be added instantly, and the only thing you need to do to make use of them is reboot your Linode. Changing to another package does require a host change, like pclissold said
