In computer science, all problems can be solved by adding a level of indirection.
You've now changed it from lengthy discussion about the connection, to lengthy
discussion about which dynamic agreements both sides are willing to support.
Hint: You can't discuss "bandwidth as a service" without both sides talking
about how much burst capacity might be needed, because the capacity would *still*
require over-provisioning in order to be available if needed. If both ends
of the link have 1G optics, you're not going to burst to 10G no matter how
many dynamic agreements you have.
