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.
