If you have multiple flows the BDP will change as measured at the end points.
Also the queue occupancy has to accommodate the overshoot. If you have a BDP in flight plus 
epsilon you should not size based on the long term value but on the overshoot. 
If you don't have space for it, the long term value may be even larger.

OK, much better, thanks.
