Well Chuck and Frank,
As fate would have it I apparently
have been thinking a bit way too hard. In taking a quick look at Doyle's
Routing TCP/IP(pg. 490) I found that my thinking would seem to have been
seriously flawed or through confusion I came to my result. Nonetheless,
I'll be taking a deeper look into this so I don't get confused again.
Apparently, I've still got a whole lot of learning(in this area) to
do.....:-) More than I thought anyway.
Nigel...
