|  |     Well, I'm not a fddi guru, but the pipeline quota affects the
    end-to-end data exchange, se the fact that one of more of the hops
    are fddi should make little difference.
    
    I would say that if you expect logical links only between nodes
    directly connected to the fddi, then keep your p.q. as high as
    possible to reduce protocol overheads. I think Pathworks recommends
    15000 or more to improve remote loading.
    
    If you expect logical links between nodes with slow hops, a high p.q
    would be painful for the "interactive" traffic against the "block"
    traffic.
    
    Just my 2c.
