I suspect Ed was getting to that part ;-) My only concern here is if nodes are sharing their RTEs (as I think they should so that nodes are "born" with a reasonable network knowledge) that problems could occur if there are significant node-to-node differences in average data size in the datastore. We might want to check to see if there are large variations today.
