No, actually it's not a real measure of link load or capability. The link load parameter is a function of the bandwidth parameter, but it's not at all related to the actual bandwidth, or load, of the link. For example, I can take a 64Kbit link (actual bandwidth) and assign a bandwidth parameter of 1.544Mbits. The router won't care and will use 1.544Mbits as the bandwidth metric used to calculate routes (and reported load). So, the actual load on the link may be 100%, but the load ratio may only show 10/255.
