I suspect that the historically destroyed Internet connections in many
of the overflow hotels -- and the Maastrict hotel for that matter -- are
perfectly adequate for a normal mix of guests. I find it difficult to
believe that you could accurately judge what a hotel's performance would
be without a load similar to what IETF attendees typically bring with them.
To be clear, issues rise above those of simple bandwidth saturation.
Most commonly, I've seen things that I suspect are DHCP pool exhaustion
(with results ranging from issuing duplicate addresses (!) to simply
being unable to get an address) and NAT port exhaustion (leading to the
inability to make or maintain connections). We bring a unique set of
stresses to an infrastructure that are way outside the normal envelope.
