A technique for winding multi-turn, stranded wire coils using rectangular cables avoids the risk of damage associated with edge-wise bends. In particular, the present invention provides a method employing GPS technology to define IP addresses in a mobile environment in order to reduce delays and transient data loss caused by handoff from one network to another. The cable retention section includes a pair of cable retention arms extending from the body section and a guiding groove that is extended out from the body section. A feeding device encompassing a metering mechanism is placed upstream of said worm type compactor. The pair of wheels is coupled to the axle member with one wheel disposed on each side of the planar member. A measure of network performance is then dynamically calculated from the transmission characteristics, and is displayed at the endpoint as a dynamic indication of the network performance.
