I agree that it would work fine even when not in optimal state. But my least-hop consideration was more about latency and unexpected CPU overhead for bridging and not simply trusting the system to return to the optimal state automatically. At least for my own applications, I need to know, not to trust. Thus I suggest to monitor the state. Best regards, // Veit
