This is very true. You have also in this example, defined your basis of cost and could effectively say "Today, every bit that crosses my network costs me X". This is a hard, quantified and total cost that includes all of your provisioned capacity.

Also, 95th percentile does not take into account peak hours for its pricing. You could push your peak traffic at off-peak hours and still be billed a very high amount. A more sensible system would be a different price for on-peak times. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
