Dave,

Good to see you (and other TechNet Legends) in Florida.

I have never heard of the exact expression "back pressure signaling", but
I can agree with Jeff's comments above.  Over time I have seen a couple of
articles on "reflected wave signaling".  My long term filing system is not
working too well today! - but if I find anything I fax you directly.

My experience of network designs is limited, so I can't comment on Doug
McKean's explanation.  Lee Ritchey at 3COM may be able to advise you; his
email is: Lee Ritchey <[log in to unmask]>

Hope this helps.  

Best regards
