Indeed. Please note that I was not actually intending to enter into the
fray about what is right or proper for PVC oversubs or similar such;
only to provide information about where the number he quoted may have
come from.

The rest of the points made are salient, but elided, since I only wanted
to clarify the relevant of the point I was origionally making - IE, that
20:1 isn't necessarily unreasonable *if* it's bandwidth, rather than PVC,
oversub.

The notion of oversubscribing PVC structures causes the engineer in me
to cry out in despair at the amount of things it utterly screws up.
