It uses the 2nd (monthly) method you describe and gives you a 95th percentile number for both inbound and outbound. You can then use both or one of them. Also, as I mentioned, you can write your own reports using anything that can query MySQL. I've done Crystal Reports and some C# .Net reporting off of RTG data with great success.

Check out RTG. It has 95th percentile reporting and if you don't like
the included reporting format you are free to build your own. Data is retained in a SQL db so it is easy enough to report on.
from the documentation, this looks interesting. Does anybody know, which 95%ile is implemented? I know at least about 6 95%ile favors around. Does anybody know, which of them are mostly used? the two variants, I have in mind are daily 95%ile ( drop the max 5% samples per day for each direction, average on the end of the month for each direction and use the higher value then ) and a monthly 95%ile ( drop the max 5% samples over all samples over the month for both directions, use the higher value then ) cheers Martin
