I am also looking forward to the full answer to this question. While one
can infer when a link is saturated by mapping network topology onto latency
sampling, it can have on the order of 30% error, given that there are
multiple causes of increased latency beyond proximal congestion.

A question I commonly ask network engineers or academics is "How can I
accurately distinguish a constraint in supply from a reduction in demand?"
