95th Percentile Billing

[coolcliff]

Hi

I have a customer asking for clarifications with regards to 95th percentile billing or calculating burstable BW, as of today we have followed the below methods for calculating it.

Exported the monthly CSV report

Considered the total No. of Samples = 367
5% Top samples count = 18.35
Highest Sample to be considered for billing = 19

Committed Bandwidth = 200
Usage As per 19th Sample = 680
Usage based billing = 680 - 200(Comitted BW) = 480

See the CSV file attached for more clarity,a have also attached the corresponding graph

My Customers query is what is the meaning of col10-cdefa and col12-cdeff, which is the basis of all our calculations,
I need to understand if we are supposed to use the inbound and outbound values for calculation purposes. however, we notice that the graph supports the col10-cdefa and col12-cdeff values.

can someone help me out here to understand col10-cdefa and col12-cdeff valuse stand for

CDEF's are conversion functions to go from things like bits to bytes.

Hi,

I got that the CDEF's are conversion functions to go from things like bits to bytes. however, I need to know which of the 4 values I should use for calculation purposes for charging bandwidth usage.

Hi, have you testified from which both the difference from col10-cdefa and col12-cdeff to the Inbound and Outbound , I also couldn't distinguish the relationship between col10-cdefa and inbound .
which is the highest usage for the server ,pursuant to the col10-cdefa or inbound index.
