That depends on the network configuration though. If you have redundant links and one link is at 65% and the other is at 35% or more you won't be able to get through a circuit flap or outage without dropping packets. 2011/11/17 Karl Clapp <kclapp () staff gwi net>
Ideally, when our 95th-percentile hits 65% utilization, we begin the pricing and planning process and its up on peoples radar. Once the 95th-percentile hits 80-85% we start planning the maintenance and execute the upgrades. I say ideally, because in a perfect world this would happen 100% of the time. We try to upgrade when the 95th is at 80-85%, because the 95th-percentiles is based off 5-min polls, so I am sure traffic is spiking higher at peak times.
