- You just mentioned where the conflict is when you say "a SINGLE
- TCP/IP virtual circuit." [emphasis mine]. What would be the
- throughput for that SINGLE circuit when you've got 20 other
- fast machines using the same bandwidth? Now compare that figure
- to the same twenty machines connected with an ATM switch...
