Bandwidth descriptions are useful sometimes. About a month ago we had a
problem with links to a remote site going to hell ( 20% packet loss, 3
second ping times) for 5 minutes every 20. Did a bunch of traceroutes and
noticed that when it when down a link labled "oc3" it was okay and when
the hop said "ds3" it was bad. Emailed the provider concerned and they
confirmed (very nicely) that they were aware and working on the problem.
