You're the one that says that statistical overbooking doesn't work, not anyone else. Since I know people that offer 100/100 to residential users that upstream this with GE/10GE in their networks and they are happy with it, I don't agree with you about the problem description. For statistical overbooking to work, a good rule of thumb is that the upstream can never be more than half full normally, and each customer cannot have more access speed than 1/10 of the speed of the upstream capacity. So for example, you can have a large number of people with 100/100 uplinked with gig as long as that gig ring doesn't carry more than approx 500 meg peak 5 minute average and it'll work just fine. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [email protected]
