Wouldn't it have been cleaner with more appropriate network provisioning?
"more appropriate network provisioning" is not always going to result in
more bandwidth the way you want it to.
If there is established infrastructure that can handle X in one
direction and 100X in the other direction, but "appropriate network
provisioning" requires that the ratio never be more than 3x, it's not
going to magically increase bandwidth in one direction, all it can do is
cap bandwidth in the other direction (throwing away capacity)
Sure, but we're dealing with a problem that arises when the ratio can't
support 40:1. That's quite an asymmetry except in extreme cases where we
already know extreme measures are required (e.g., satcom with telco
backchannels).
that's not the only situation we're talking about here.
Also, keep in mind that your 40:1 ratio assumes that there is no traffic going
the other direction.
If you have one person trying to watch streaming video while another person is
uploading pictures to facebook, you can run into trouble at much more even
ratios.
