With public peering you simply never know how much spare capacity your peer has free.
So? That doesn't make public peering bad, you don't know that for PI or transit either
And would you expect your peer with 400 Mbit/s total to have 400 reserved on his AMSIX port for you when you see 300 at LINX and LINX goes down?
Yes and more fool you if they have and you haven't Of course commercially that may be something you gamble with for profit margin brandon

For PI I know how much spare I have towards them, taking for granted they can move the traffic. Which is the case in 99% for all our peers currently that we have privates with. And they can better move the traffic... and if not one tells the other normally and things can be done.
