Performance

When a talks to b, the performance is limited by 1 path. Whatever can be done to improve the throughput (or delay bound) is done by IP (e.g. load sharing the traffic over multiple paths). When a talks to b,c,d,e,f, should the throughput or delay be that sustainable by the slowest or average?
