We are moving towards this, but, as we are multihomed the packets for a
customer will be coming from different upstreams - unless we specify that
the customer will only pass through one (causing BGP table bloat).
Would there be a "scientific" explanation on why a customer can pull in
more bandwidth than their leased line or traffic-shaped circuit? Is it
because the sender only slows down later in the TCP transmission, and new
stuff comes in at full international circuit speed?
