The 100 Gbit/s problem in your network

- Well, as it turns out, we don't have that kind of a problem.

- You don't?

- No, we do not have that kind of a problem in our network.
   We have plenty of bandwidth available to our customers,
   thank-you-every-much.

- Do you have, just to make an example, about 10 000 customers
   in a specific area, like an city/county or part of a
   city/county?

- Yes, of course!

- Does these customers have at least 10 Mbit/s connection to the
   Internet?

- Yes! Who do you think we are, like stupid! Haha!

- Could all those 10 000 customers, just to make it theoretical,
   hit the 'play'-button on their Internet-connected-TV, at the same
   time, to watch the latest Quad-HD movie?

- Yes. Oh wait a minute now! This is not fair! Damn. We're toast.
