whenever possible.

in report-by-exception networks the load of hops connecting the centre to major repeaters forms
the bottle-neck of total network capacity. Moving these hops to another channel, or, even better, to
a wire (fibre, microwave) links can multiply the throughput of the network. It saves not only the load
itself, it also significantly reduces the probability of collision. More on that in the following chapter
