This assumption is purely for academic, for in reality the networking overhead to make this assumption true is significant. The reduction of such overhead I feel is more interesting and practical. But in the end you want to eek out as much performance out of everything as you can.
I dont really think coding is the real bottleneck breaker for getting to the Shannon limit of these channels. I believe a better routing mechanism would be a better approach.
