OverProvisioned Backbone

The Key is OverProvisioning Offer must be higher than Demand

Over-Provisioned Backbone

Over-provisioning (Source: Stephen Casner, Packet Design, NANOG 22)

Drawback

Provisioning failure

“Not every week is like this” (Source: Stephen Casner, Packet Design, NANOG 22)

Recommendation: use DiffServ!

Service Isolation
