That's probably fine. When you go beyond tens of stations, all bets are
off on scanning anyway ;-). I'd make that value a bit higher, though,
since some concurrent cases are starting to show up with larger number
of interfaces. Say, five would sound fine to use in upstream and I'd
assume it wouldn't make much of difference for you either.
