In case this is unclear, AboveNet was the first to do 95th percentile, and UUNet was the first of those who have since followed in Dave Rand's footsteps.
Huh? My recollection is that UU was doing 95th back in 94 or so.
They definitely were. At my first ISP job, we had a usage based UUNet T1 that was billed according to 95th percentile traffic...but once you started using much of a T1, it was cheaper to just switch over to their flate rate "full T1" pricing. This was back when you could run a small ISP and take a full news feed on a single T1 and not fill it. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@lewis.org*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
