They can and do know how to count bytes and divide by time, as evidenced by
the current and average utilization numbers you see when you telnet to a
Pipeline. They don't, as you've surmised, use this information to implement
DBA!

Hell, the Pipeline 75 can't even handle DBA correctly when connected to a
MAX 4000! This is inexcusable, and it's going to be the reason why Ascend
will continue to loose market share to companies that CAN get these things
right.
