I'm not sure that this is the subgroup level, since, obviously, end
computers are merely test loads for the network.  :-)  I also posted this on
the Forum, but I don't know if that's really being used.


Frankly, I gave up at Wikipedia's Computer Networking Project due to the
constant arguments about what some basic textbook said, versus what actually
is defined in IETF, ISO, etc. documents, as well as how real implementations
and major networks behave. If I'm not being too pedantic -- and I'm not a
traditional academic -- I am concerned that we have some articles that may
be somewhat imprecise, or overemphasize topics (e.g., OSI Reference Model)
that simply are not important in the real world but are widely taught.

How can we avoid duplication? I've been contributing, but there's just so
much I can do, and if there's no consensus and collaboration, it won't be
much fun.
