Abstract :
A closed-form lower bound on the end-to-end delay in a network with N nodes and link density p is presented which can be useful for the dimensioning of connectionless `homogenous´ networks. In particular, several initial considerations on networks specifically designed for carrying voice over IP only, may be estimated
