It strikes me that bursting should be completely safe as long as the node's decision whether to burst at any given moment is based entirely on the availability of bandwidth (supply), and not at all on whether there is actually a request queued that could use it (demand). When supply exceeded demand, chaff would be sent; when demand exceeded supply, the queue would back up.
This scheme might remove the entire point of bursting, though. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
