Really? Where are the limits of BGP? Can you show me any numbers? You'd be the first. I'm not aware of any protocol inherent scaling brickwalls like with other protocols where certain timing constraints place limits (or thinking of L1 systems, you remember CSMA/CD?).
Last time I checked, Ethernet is still CSMA/CD.
Correct. And there you have minimum frame spacing requirements (IFG) and (e.g. with 10Base2 networks) minimum distance between stations attached to the bus to allow CSMA/CD work correctly.
Interframe gap has no dependancy on station vector. The dependancy for CSMA/CD was bits on the wire and the alogorithm backed off until it was free to transmit. Are you talking about something else? -M< -M<

I cannot remember the details unfortunately. It was some limits on transmission to ensure that the collision recovery could work correctly. I thought it was related to IFG. BTW, I did mention IFG and the minimum distance between stations on bus as seperate issues, not connected issues. Was that a misunderstanding?
