	This is perfect example of why the section is there.

	There you go again, not analysing the requirements.  You are
	assuming that there is always a *minor traffic increase*.
	You as a implementor are not in a position to say if a given
	increase in traffic is minor or not as you do not have
	enough details of the conditions underwhich the transmission
	is taking place.
