[at the risk of dampening the whole nanog atmosphere 
 by throwing real operational data in to this thread]

nevil wrote a paper 2 years ago on use of
75th percentile ("3rd quartile day")
for his academic network
        http://www.auckland.ac.nz/net/Accounting/3qd-kaw.pdf
        http://www.otago.ac.nz/ITS/ts/Kawaihikoservices.html

(nice work, tho for unrelated political reasons
that network happens to not exist anymore
so there's not really a source of longterm
data since 99 on it but there we are)
