A point I was trying to make way back in this thread, was that IntServ doesn't scale well for multi-stakeholder networks, which has been my background, ISP and managed WAN operations, so I've never deployed it. If you have a single tenant WAN with control over the WAN *and* all end devices you can manage the scale.

They have two WANs, B2 and B4. One is public facing for peering and transit (B2?) and the other is internal, e.g.DC to DC (B4?). The DC to DC WAN tries to sweat it's own assets as much as possible and run some links in the high-90's percent utilisation. Nx100G LAGs between DCs aren't cheap, even for Google. With a single tenant WAN you can run your links much hotter (higher average throughput) with the aim to reduce the time spent transmitting (lower average utilisation).
