From your second link (digital currency fed boston):
The researchers also note that the faster system, the one processing 1.7 million transactions per second, the transaction quantity “appears to scale linearly with the addition of more servers,” which would sustain an even larger volume of activity.
To my understanding, the lightning network scales exponentially with the number of participants (servers) because of its edge-contracting capabilities, so I wonder if it is something they took into consideration. Granted, the lightning network transaction protocol is not the same as Taro/RGB, but I imagine it would scale similarly.

Very interesting, thank you!
