While the answer is always it depends, I was wondering what the current rules of thumb university network engineers are using for capacity planning and oversubscription for resnets and admin networks?

For K-12, SETDA (http://www.setda.org/web/guest/2020/broadband) is recommending:

- An external Internet connection to the Internet Service Provider of at least 100 Mbps per 1,000 students/staff - Internal wide area network connections from the district to each school and between schools of at least 1 Gbps per 1,000 students/staff

How does that compare with university and enterprise network rules of thumb?
