Traffic

You are billed by the traffic used per hour.

Traffic-based Billing

Peak bandwidth

The system measures and records a peak bandwidth every 5 minutes, so 288 records are collected per day. The highest peak bandwidth per day is used as the billable bandwidth.

Peak Bandwidth-based Billing

95th percentile bandwidth

In each calendar month, the peak bandwidth is measured and recorded every 5 minutes on each valid day. At the end of the month, the records are sorted from the highest to the lowest, and the top 5% of the records are thrown away. Then the highest bandwidth value in the remaining records is the billable bandwidth of the month and a bill is generated based on the contract price.

Billing by 95th Percentile Bandwidth

Average daily peak bandwidth

At the end of each calendar month, the system calculates the average of peak bandwidth of valid days in this month. The average value is the billable bandwidth of the month and the bill is generated based on the contract price.

Billing by Average Daily Peak Bandwidth
