Well that's true to a certain degree.  It's a timing issue.  If two igates 
in the same area see the same packet on the IS (destined to be gate to RF in 
their area) at the same time, it is likely both will gate the 
packet...because neither of them hear the packet on RF.  UI-View does not 
deal with this issue.....and I am not sure any of the other one delay a gate 
to see if it's heard on RF....I could be wrong about that.
