Sebastian - you are describing a property that we've measured in large scale 
(countrywide) deployed networks, it is also the underlying property that is 
causing mobile network operators issues with packet based networks as backhaul, 
as well as several other mission critical environments we've had dealings with.

When I pointed out that such service approaches will create extreme 
non-stationarity (in the particular case 2+ seconds) - the designers said - not 
their problem, not in their brief from management, they were told to bandwidth 
share.

It is not just that the 2+ seconds can exist, but that the overall system 
(under the right offered traffic pattern) WILL display that dynamic property.

Neil
