An optimal solution would be a tiered system where the adjusted price only applies to traffic units over the price tier threshold and not retroactively to all traffic units.
Optimal for whom? Also, I doubt you can make that claim as you do not know the costs or other business conditions of every deal. -- TTFN, patrick

If you have a lot more, you can negotiate tiers. E.g. The first 10G is $X/Mbps, but if you hit 20G, you get charged 20000 * $Y (where Y < X, obviously). This can lead to interesting situations where 19 Gbps costs more than 20 Gbps. But dems da breaks.

I knew of a place that used to push "fake" traffic over a link to ensure they were in the cheaper (higher) tier. Who knew business rules overriding engineering could result in non-optimal situations.
