It will be the same here, it's not dedicated Offline LAN. Take black ops for example. I hosted 2x 18 player lans without hitch off a 4mb line.

You log into steam as per normal, Go into the game, Authenticate and go to Private match. As soon as all your friends joined, yo ustart the match and it automatically detects from the IP's that it's all LAN based.

Once you are ingame you will see that all the pings are Like LAN, Ranging from 2-10. So it's not 100% Offline LAN, bit it is regarded as "LAN" because of the latency etc.
and that exactly what it will be in MW3

Map thanks for pointing this out, you probably will need an internet connection and have to signed into steam, the offline LAN support wont be there because MW3 uses steamworks
