The LW 4.2 series will have 3 UPs connections for all and maintain only one UP connection when you are away from the computer. This change makes more clients available in the range of each UP. so the results should be the same. The main benifit is that less people have to be UP and thus loosing bandwidth. The current ratio is 7 leaves for 1 UP. In LW 4.2 the ratio will be 9 (28/3) to 28 (28/1) per 1 UP (should give an average of 12 leaves per UP by my estimates ). This should also reduce the traffic transmitted by UPs making them more effective to route searches for rare files.

Do you understand or I talk chinese here? It's all logics, but if you don't understand the network topology first, it's hard to figure it out.
