Well Peter Lothburg (please excuse the spelling) at the last NANOG
demonstrated this fact rather well when he showed the effects of
congestion on latency for various high speed links.  I think he started
with T3 then higher and higher up to OC-192.  The graphs showed latency
low until the links were at progressively higher percentages of 100%
full.  For links at OC-12 you were looking at links that were well
above 90% full before any detectable increase in latency occured.


That made the point pretty clear to me.
