If you are fired for taking appropriate action based on verifiable facts
then maybe it wasn't meant to be.
I heard once that TW Telecom was using 3:1. That's at Tier2, so the
customer is expecting 100meg to be 100meg at any given time.
IMO, an oversubscription rate is necessary for capacity planning, but
demand only trends upwards over time so whatever you plan for now might
not match expectations at a later date.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] oversubscription again
In auditing, I have found ownership to have oversold themselves a
considerable percentage of bandwidth, both above our aggregate, as well
as substantially above our sustainable, spread out amongst multiple
locations.
From a sysadmin, perspective, or whatever moniker that applies to a
person who does as they are told like good little nazis, I chose, as a
network preservation techniquue, to alter ownerships bandwidth plans,
which on their own allocated a 12:1 network oversubscription.
pretty confident this will result in a termination.
anybody hiring?
