Bit Gossip - long time no talk...

You are doing good by using Practical Studies II....

However for this little bit o arcane math...

You need Doyle Volume II as I recall. And take a moment to enjoy the
scenery Doyle even covers the how and why of the sequence numbers and how
the queueing algorithm actually does its job. Why Packet A of a given
size gets queued say in relation to Packet B... And yes size of the packet
does matter.

It matters so much that Doyle recommends something of a traffic analysis in
some cases prior to applying these values - depending on what the network is
actually doing in terms of processing packets.
