Hi Rodolfo,

Sorry for the late answer, I missed this post in the middle of the
thread.

Thanks for doing this!

Random comments:

* I really would like to get rid of the "virtual" term that has been
  repeatedly abused. Bus segments behind multiplexers are very real.

* I am surprised that you use the term "trunk" for all segments, be
  they in front of or behind multiplexers. When I think of a
  multiplexer, I designate the segment between the controller and the
  multiplexer as the trunk, and the segments behind the multiplexer as
  branches.

Other than that I am rather happy with your page, which explains the
problem and the proposed solution clearly.
