In my view, the BTS designs the network that the RTS is supposed to execute. Once the network design is completed, and ONLY when the design is completed, the RTS is contacted, and the design is passed to it for execution. Communication back to the BTS only occurs for an update on the progress of the execution and to stream back viewable results. Jeff -- +----------------------------------+ | J.W.
