Hi Tim: I am sure other's join me in thanking you for your concise and clear response to my tech questionnaire and that pointer to HWP's site. People like you make learning thru Investing an absolute pleasure. My sincere thanks. I would imagine that the bottle neck in traffic would be at the IP switch. Incidentally are all Fibre protocols based on 512 byte cells or do they include larger Frames. I am at a loss to dertermine the aprox.rules regarding the no of frames, cells ,Protocols, IP switching and Fibre channels that it took for my transmission to reach you. Any guidance will be most helpful in understanding the complexity of our exchange etc. Incidentally how far are we from elctro/optical IP switching or is it a no can do since digit based protocols & frequency are in a two seperate domains.
