Assumptions
 
 
Demands are probabilistics, some may over estimated, some may under estimated
 

Committed more bandwidth than what the network can offer

Demand 100 mbps Capacity 40 mbps Committ 60 mbps

 
 
Unused bandwidth can be IMPLICITLY PRE-REALLOCATED to those who are in starvation
 
   
An optimistic approach to compensate the efficiency loss due to the prediction error
 

Pros and Cons
 
 
Adaquate overbooking my reduced wasted bandwidth
 
 
Aggressive overbooking may lead to over-committed
 

Need a good math model to determine adaquate overbooking level
