EIGRP doesn't reserve the bandwidth. It limits itself to only use a certain
amount of bandwidth so other traffic is not affected and the amount is
configurable

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,
Laurent
