Utilization (Left) and Loss (Right) Plots for a Level-3 100-Gbps Interconnect with an Unnamed Broadband Access Provider in Dallas for One Week Ending April 3, 2014. The significant loss confirms that the high utilization plotted for the same interval induced impairment for consumers of traffic over this link. (The loss rate indicated is around 1K packets/second. What is an acceptable loss rate at interconnection links is an important question, but not one we discuss here.)
