Greetings,


I'm working on a system to alert when a bandwidth augmentation is
needed.  I've looked at using both true averages and 95th percentile
calculations.  I'm wondering what everyone else uses for this purpose?

We're talking about anything from a T1 to an OC-12 here.  My guess is
that the calculation needs to be slightly different based on the
transport, but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks,
