I'll take a go at it.

Kantronics TNC's do dupe checking on WIDE2-2 but not generally on the
WIDE,WIDE.   Thus with a WIDE,WIDE path you can get ping-ponging between
digi's you won't get with a WIDE2-2.   The "3 to 5" number is probably a
worst case which is seldom seen.  Normally it might be a couple extra packets.
It all depends on how many WIDE digis are in a area that hear each other.

It's not a problem with Digi_ned or, I believe, UI-digi.
