One thing to keep in mind.. A percentage can lie about network performance. If you take a network with a low percentage of "traffic" based on byte count but a high number of small packets ( Citrix), you can easily have an overloaded router/switch but without the gross load on the wire you might expect. The overload comes from trying to process all the dinky packets which need to be checked, read, forwarded, folded etc.
this really does happen as I just did an analysis on a Citrix server farm of over 30 servers hooked to a rather overloaded router. Fun traces showed up on that.
