QUESTION: I want to determine whether my GS/3 link is at or near
saturation.  How can I do this?

ANSWER:  Do a "sh stats s" which is show statistics per sample.
Add the number of received bytes to the number of transmitted
bytes, multiply the sum by 8 (for # of bits), and divide by 4 (4
seconds in a sample) (or just multiply the sum by 2 which is = 8/
4).  THIS is the number of bits per second.

When this number is larger than 60% of the bandwidth it is time
to look to increase the bandwidth.
