(1) That is the kind of thing best accomplished via a custom plugin.

(2) Can you even do it w/o access to the history?

ntop doesn't store every packet - it just keeps counters.  That means that
the 95th percentile will change over time and how do you know what is in /
out?

For std deviation there are special formulas which allow those calculations
to be performed from just the running data points (which is what we use).

Subject: [Ntop-dev] 95th Percentile Billing

Dear all,

We've found ntop to be a very useful tool - thank you!

A question / suggestion - could you please consider including a '95th 
percentile' calculation in your stats and/or charts?  This is a 
reasonably common way to be billed for bandwidth, and would be great to 
view via ntop.

    More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstable_billing

Thanks & best regards,

Alex
