Or a very reckless oversubscription ratio and misjudgment of the customer,

mistaken idea of "Well these guys probably aren't going to peak more than
35Gbps of traffic at any time in the near future....". Frightening.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that. Easier and cheaper to deliver the circuit over
EoDWDM if you can't reserve enough capacity in the backbone.

You could get away with it by doing an N x 100Gbps LAG, but EoMPLS
traffic may or may not load balance well, depending on platform and payload.
