Furthermore, there is no "10M to each device" -> you are implying there is some inherently fixed QoS at Layer 2. This is not the case. It's mostly a free-for-all. Sure, you could have some rogue app start monkeying around with QoS at L3 however the (trunked) ingress port needs to recognize CoS and ToS translated in the dot1q header bits in order to actually do anything with them. While you are correct in that increased broadcast and multicast show detriment to a segment's performance, the number of devices does not have an effect upon the maxima or minima in distance of the electrical signal on LAN cable. Lastly, keep in mind that the radio-side of 802.11a/b/g/n wireless is altogether different. It's radio. Apples and oranges. No matter what the marketing people may lead you to believe. Quality wireless implementation is not for the faint of heart. Radio is not LAN. It's got it's own set of cats to herd. cheers, R.
