The following is an article which I am going to submit to Data
Communications in reply to a column which William Stallings
did on me a few months ago. I think people in this forum might
be interested, and I would not mind some comments.

3 For example, X.25 does flow control on the host to packet
switch connection on the basis of packets transmitted rather
than on the basis of consumption of advertised memory
window. The exchange of lots of little packets on an X.25
connection can cause continual transmission throttling even
though the receiver has lots of space for incoming data.
4 Or as much sense as calling Ethernet LANs DMA-based
networks because the packet switches (an Ethernet controller
is a degenerate case of a packet switch) on the LAN are
typically accessed by DMA.
