Forecast Link Saturation · Risk: read
Estimates when an interface will saturate. Samples its current throughput (/interface monitor-traffic ... once), computes utilization against capacity_mbps (the link's rated speed), and projects the trend forward at monthly_growth_pct to a saturation date. Note: this is a single live sample projected at an ASSUMED growth rate — feed a realistic growth figure (or watch the trend over time) for a better forecast. Returns current load, utilization, and the projected days/date to saturation.
