existing WAN saturation report critique and questions

Hi there -- please indulge me on a multipart question:

1. An individual in my company who has now left created this query to report on saturation events above 90% average inbound utilization in the previous month as a method to draw attention to sites that may benefit from WAN upgrades. It appears to work but I am unsure what the Count(*) actual measures -- would it be minutes or some other metric? Any other comments?

-- saturation report

DECLARE @StartDate DateTime

DECLARE @EndDate DateTime

SET @StartDate = DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, DATEADD(m, -1, DATEADD(d, 1 - day(getdate()), getdate()))), 0)

SET @EndDate = DATEADD(ms, -2,DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, DATEADD(d, 1 - day(getdate()), getdate())), 0));

SELECT    

  Nodes.HA,

  Nodes.Site,

        Nodes.Address,

        Nodes.City,

        Nodes.SiteType,

  Interfaces.WANFeed,

        (Interfaces.InBandwidth / 1000000) As Subscribed_Mbps,

          Count(*) as SaturationEvents

FROM

  Interfaces

  INNER JOIN InterfaceTraffic_Detail ON Interfaces.InterfaceID = InterfaceTraffic_Detail.InterfaceID

  INNER JOIN Nodes ON Interfaces.NodeID = Nodes.NodeID

WHERE     

  (NOT (Interfaces.WANFeed IS NULL))

   AND (InterfaceTraffic_Detail.In_Averagebps / Interfaces.InBandwidth > .9) AND

       (Nodes.SiteType = 'Acute' OR Nodes.SiteType = 'DC' OR Nodes.SiteType='Acute-DC') AND

       ((DateTime between @StartDate and @EndDate))

GROUP BY

        Nodes.HA,

        Nodes.Site,

        Nodes.Address,

        Nodes.City,

        Nodes.SiteType,

        Interfaces.WANFeed,

        Interfaces.InBandwidth

Order By SaturationEvents Desc

2. Assuming the above report is reasonable is there a way to add the saturationevents metric to our version of the 95th percentile report? I realize one is the last 30 days and one is last months. Also the SiteType criteria needs to be aligned. 

DECLARE @StartDate DateTime

DECLARE @EndDate DateTime

SET @StartDate =CAST((ROUND(CAST(GetDate() - 30 AS FLOAT), 0, 1)) as datetime)

SET @EndDate = GetDate()

SELECT

Nodes.HA,

Nodes.Site,

Nodes.Address,

Nodes.City,

Interfaces.WANFeed,

Nodes.SiteType,

Interfaces.InBandwidth AS Recv_Bandwidth,

Interfaces.InterfaceId,

Nodes.NodeID,

Nodes.Caption AS NodeName,

Interfaces.Caption AS Interface_Caption,

Maxbps_In95,

Maxbps_Out95,

Maxbps_95

FROM Nodes

INNER JOIN Interfaces ON Nodes.NodeID = Interfaces.NodeID

INNER JOIN (

  SELECT InterfaceID,

  dbo.GetInBps95th(InterfaceID,@StartDate ,@EndDate ) AS Maxbps_In95,

  dbo.GetOutBps95th(InterfaceID,@StartDate ,@EndDate ) AS Maxbps_Out95,

  dbo.GetMaxBps95th(InterfaceID,@StartDate ,@EndDate ) AS Maxbps_95

  FROM InterfaceTraffic

  WHERE InterfaceTraffic.DateTime >= @StartDate AND InterfaceTraffic.DateTime <= @EndDate

  GROUP BY InterfaceID

) TrafficStat

ON Interfaces.InterfaceID = TrafficStat.InterfaceID

WHERE

(NOT (Interfaces.WANFeed IS NULL)) AND

(Nodes.SiteType = 'Acute-DC') AND

(Interfaces.WANFeed <> 'Secondary')

ORDER BY HA,NodeName, Interface_Caption

3. Is there a database reference that describes the differences between TrafficStat and InterfaceTraffic_Detail tables?

Thanks everyone -- if my questions are not clear please let me know.
