Erol. when the 11th user comes online in the example that you have just quoted they do not all slow down equally. It depends on what they are doing.

Can't you see that there can be 100 users on line on a upstream card and they can all be suffering extreme degradation of service. You can then have 5 users come off line (5 p2p users thrashing their connections) and the remaining 95, still doing what they were previously, then don't experience any degradation of service. To me. in my way of thinking, those 5 users were causing all of the degradation. In your way of thinking it would be that the 5 users were causing 5% of the degradation and if they came offline there would still be 95% degradation in service.
