[EFM-P2MP] RE: Upstream efficiency
Ariel,
Expect some intersting discussions in St Louis re: this topic.
I'm not sure it's the right approach to design a protocol in isolation,
ignorant of link limitations, and pray that optics performance will make it
work. You're guaranteed to end up with a costly solution this way.

limitations, such as laser performance, from MPCP efficiency.

is in line with Ethernet in general. Upstream utilization will be maximized
based on the performance of the optics.
