That depends on your definition of 'never'. You can oversell your network capacity...everyone does...and not run with the pipes full 99% or better of the time.
At max capacity, we'd run roughly double our total transit capacity, yet we rarely exceed 70% of N+1 bandwidth before upgrading. Perhaps my model doesn't scale when people utilize multiple 10G, though, as I know I have several burstable 10G available for special events and such as a just in case option. The price of 100G interfaces currently is still too high for someone to actually want a burstable 100G circuit with only a 30 or 50 gig commit. Jack
