> 	The rule of thumb for the IETF Network Team is that we provide the network for the meeting itself, and we endevour to ensure that the main/headquarters hotel's guest room network has a fighting chance of survival. This often means we work with the hotel to augment the guest room network, either by simply adding bandwidth, taking it over entirely, or some position in the middle.  Though rare these days, sometimes the hotel is convinced they have the situation under control and rebuff our help, such as what  happened in Maastricht at the NH. In those cases, we just try to stand ready for when things begin to fail...

Beyond that though, it's not practical to actually augment the overflows, except for certain exceptional cases such as with the WIDE team in Hiroshima.
