Just to chime in with more non-certain knowlegde: When doing OIR the box
does a "bus stall" AFAIK. This happens between when the pins start
connecting and when all pins are connected.

If this were to not cause any lost packets, the modules would have to
buffer while the bus stall is in effect and retransmit whatever was on
the wire when it happened. I don't think they do.
