its also assumed that the owners will be monitoring the needs of the traffic, and if its seen that there is a growing need to add more capacity as your selling more machines, they build on another lane or two all the way from your entry point to the most popular destinations with a view that its better to spend the tax money on moving the traffic faster than risk the major pileup day after day, every day....
Good points, but generally in any network, road or data, you will reach a crunch point that occurs for a while whilst that extra lane is built. And during the building time you can expect even more pain. It could easily be argued that this is where the VM network currently is at. The extra lane needs building, but they are currently planning the lane etc.
