Obviously this doesn't happen all the time, such as when you have a 40% threshold for initiating a circuit upgrade, but if you do your upgrades when they are 80% or 90% full, this does happen. I'd say this might happen on links connected to devices with small buffers such as with a 7600 with lan cards, foundry device or alike. If you look at the same behaviour of a deep packet buffer device such as juniper or cisco GSR/CRS-1 the behaviour you're describing doesn't exist (at least not that I have noticed). -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [email protected]
