Other than a "broadcast" kinda of traffic which continues whether or not
the destination is still there, (I am assuming that multicast is the method
of choice for broadcast), is the major type of traffic that will continue
to bable after the topology goes half duplex or no duplex... With routers,
if the path goes away long enough, then the route protocols will give up as
a bad path?

How long is long. I can agree that 65K is not too long at OC-48c....

If X is 64K, if the stuck bit is in the top 16 bits, you will never come
up. If it is in the lower 16 bits, you will lose half of the traffic.
