Wow... Well.... I really don't think that using MPLS is going to affect
whatever oversubscription metrics you build into a network design... So, I
guess I'd say design it how you normally would, and pay attention to what
your utilization actually us on particular links rather than say 1:5 or
1:10... Pick yourself a number (70%, 80%?) that if the consistent
utilization reaches that point, then you'll expand your link.
I don't think there's a good way to answer that... It's a corporate policy,
not a networking necessity... (It's that Layer 8 stuff: Accounting!)

Subject: [nsp] REG: MPLS VPN's
A warm Hi to everyone out here..
Thanks a ton for all the help, I have recieved on MPLS. I do have a
question, on how the sizing of backbone bandwidth is done to provide MPLS
VPN services, I mean to say what is the extent of oversubscription that can
be made on an MPLS network. For example if I am to sell services on a E1
(2.048 Mbps) circuit, what could be the ratio of oversubscription, Can it be
1:5 / 1:10. Assuming the applications are standard IP based apps, no real
time apps such as voice / video.
Kindly advice
With Kind regards
Vinod.
