I don't think there is a mathematical magical formula to convert from one to the other.
However, using data from from your NMS you can probably create a table with approximate figures for the usage patterns of your customers. It may be a handy reference. Don't forget to make it clear that it's just there for convenience, it won't be the definite billing reference. The table I imagine says something like '10 Mbit/sec 95% perc -> X terabytes month' with normal usage, you may want to include the most common BWs you sell. cheers! ~Carlos On 6/6/13 1:48 PM, Ed Butler wrote: > > On 6 Jun 2013 17:41, "Simon Green" <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> So my question is, how do you handle the translation from 95th% to > throughput billing? >> > > Well clearly there's nothing with any mathematical model that gives you > an answer to your question! > > So: > > 1.
