 Tests show that <= 500 single prims can be flocked effectively - depending on system and network	
 However maybe <= 300 simple linksets can perform as well.
 
+Network Traffic:
+
+I tested the amount of network traffic generated by bird updates. 20 birds (each with 4 linked prims) takes up about 300kbps
+in network position updates. 50 of the same birds generates about 750kbps traffic.
+Each bird uses roughly 15kbps of network traffic. This is all measured using an update framerate of 1, i.e. birds' position
+is updated every simulator frame.
