I've had few upgrades since LS1010+VXR network and there is a statistically relevant correlation to more bandwidth demand related to the upgrade cycles. If you remove the heavy users, you can skip entire cycles, putting your CAPEX in 50%, 33%, 25% of less of what it is. Also your wave and transit costs decrease rapidly over time, as they become cheaper faster than your user traffic increase, if you cherry-pick the lowest 70% users. Consumption is a significant cost driver. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
