<P>Thank you very much , and sorry for my poor question.
<P>Fraleigh's paper , " Provisioning IP Backbone Networks to Support Latency Sensitive Traffic", stated that its analyis is based on assumption that network topology and routing path remains in its original shape after link bandwidth is overprovisioned.
<P>My first question is: Could we accept that assumption? To my understanding , if link capacity is overprovisioned by 15%, routing paths computed by SPF may deviate from that of original network.
<P>In order to verify its conclusion, my second question focuses on the bandwidth provisioning state of current backbone network and its edge-to-edge delay statics.
<P>Thanks again.
<P>Best regards
