while they are lower than these they have also been remarkably
consistent over the last three years.

Our numbers tend to be much lower than these as well.  We use packeteer to
do basic traffic shaping but we'll also disconnect users if we see
abnormally large amounts of outgoing traffic.  We often wonder if we
