This is a little off the original subject but ... We are trying to determine if
there is a break point on a point-to-point circuit where priorization is a
costing more in performance on the hardware than we are gaining on the circuit.

The would only apply to high speed circuits ... We would assume that a T1/E1
would benefit from Telnet (port 23) and LAT (bridge type 60-04) being 
prioritized as 2 and 1 with everything else left to fend for it's self. The
desired results is to promote telnet to near LAT performance on the wide area.

Any guide lines would be helpful ... i.e. how much overhead does it take
if a 3.0mb pipe is used running an average packet size of 200 bytes?

Thanks in advance
