What is a safe oversubscription rate?
A network on average should never reach 75% of its capacity. Doing so will start to reduce performance, and in many cases start to loose data packets. Bandwidth is dedicated through the CLEC to the ISP. Once at RapidDSL, bandwidth is guaranteed my monitoring the overall performance of the network. Our network backbone averages below fifty (50%) percent of its capacity. If average bandwidth peaks approach 75%, we automatically upgrade our backbone bandwidth.
