As stated in the first line of my message to him... I made a few assumptions
based on his request. My answer is by NO means the god given truth. First
off I was not giving a recommendation and you r right in that I dont know a

my idea on ideal network conditions (textbook generalities as u put it).
By the way I did not read the DCN book, I read the BCMSN book. That what
books are meant for. To gain knowledge.
