Utilization should be defined as busy time/total time, its dimensionless or percent. Doesn't matter if its network or CPU or disk, thats the standard definition of utilization.
You are right that this is somewhat confusing. We are using the term utilization as defined by the nmwg Hierarchy document: http://www.gridforum.org/documents/GFD.23.pdf See section 7.2. Granted, this would probably be better named "utilized". In fact, from looking at several other documents (and even other places in this document) I would actually expect this to be called: interface.bandwidth.utilized jeff
