In theory yes... in practice (especially in the presence of wireless links) you might just spam your airspace by producing lots of additional collisions. > There are two questions.

Making the metric too simplistic means you cannot deal with a heterogeneous network like a mixture of ethernet (of different link speeds) and wifi (with LOTS of different link speeds and frame loss).
