Indeed. Capacity upgrades are best gauged by drop rates; bit-rates without this context are largely useless.
If you're dropping packets, you're already over the cliff. Our job as ISP is to forward the packets our customers send to us, how is that compatible with upgrading links when they're so full that you're not only buffering but you're actually DROPPING packets?
