RE: When to upgrade a circuit?

If you go by Cisco's design guidelines, when a WAN link hits 70%
utilization for a sustained period (some say as little as 5 minutes),
then you should upgrade. Also recall that EIGRP reserves 25% of the
link for it own use (which you can change), and that even though you may
be sending only 130Mbps of IP traffic through an OC-3, there is
additional overhead that many forget to account for.

2 cents....

Hi All,
 
What is the general rule on upgrading a circuit? Say OC-12?
 
Thanks,
