Primary path gets full.
Provider routes to secondary path, which is better than primary path
when full.
Users and provider discover life would be better when primary path had
more bandwidth.
News at 11.
I mean, really, the fact that a secondary path is worse than a primary
path with no capacity is a no brainer, couldn't these people be doing
something more useful?
