How should we plan capacity for new interconnection deployments?

Base capacity planning on observed traffic patterns plus growth projections, then add headroom for unexpected demand. Bandwidth needs almost always grow faster than initial estimates because new applications, more cloud workloads, and data gravity all push consumption upward. Right-sizing too tightly forces expensive remediation later, while over-provisioning wastes budget. The sweet spot is typically a buffer of 30 to 50 percent above current peak.
