Hi Matthew.
I am very new to creating pipes and queues and appreciate any insight you
could give me with this.

I based it off the thought that 900Kbit/s / 8 = 112.5  Kbytes

What is the best way to determine queue size?

I have done some testing such as downloading a 100MB file and at the same
time pinging another host. I did not see any timeouts  and speed was about
what I expected so I felt comfortable with the queue size but I would like
to have my network as efficient as possible. Please tell me the reasoning
for 8K or 10K so I can learn.
Thanks!
Lewis
