Or a very reckless oversubscription ratio and misjudgment of the customer, example, if a provider had 2 x 100GbE capacity between two locations and sold a customer a 100GbE EoMPLS transport circuit from A to Z, based on the mistaken idea of "Well these guys probably aren't going to peak more than 35Gbps of traffic at any time in the near future....". Frightening.
Yeah, I wouldn't do that. Easier and cheaper to deliver the circuit over EoDWDM if you can't reserve enough capacity in the backbone. You could get away with it by doing an N x 100Gbps LAG, but EoMPLS traffic may or may not load balance well, depending on platform and payload. Mark.
