OT: Compound word construction / terminology



The context is networking, specifically calculating how much bandwidth is
required for an application or set of applications: provisioning the
network.

If a network has too much bandwidth, it is said to be over provisioned. Or
over-provisioned. Or overprovisioned.

I like the first construction. The marketing guys like hyphenated. Some
Cisco books use the third. In a quick Google search, I couldn't find any
real definitions, and usage seems to be pretty equally divided.

Anyone else have a preference?

Thanks,
Art
