[Bloat] Looking for a citation...

Also, the highest wifi speeds are only achievable with build traffic to a single 
client (or with mu-mimo to a small number of clients), it's not that with n 
clients, each gets anywhere close to 1/n bandwith. And if you add a single 
slower device to the network, it will eat much more airtime than it's bandwidth 
would indicate.
