Sean's eloquent description of theory and science notwithstanding,
I'd strongly encourage active network operators to experiment
empirically with pchar on your internal links.
Try it; you'll like it; and be blown away.
The reported available bandwidth from a single, discrete, source,
is scarily most always accurate, relative to pseudo real time
exponentially decaying interface util and SNMP if utilization.
