over the years, i've grown quite accustomed to feeling out pricing of bandwidth based on 95th percentile peak utilization with various minimums and potential tiers. i've always sorta viewed pricing by "bytes transferred" to be a consumer thing that my uncle might pay when hosting his webpages showing his matchbox collection. now i'm faced with a jurisdiction where the only providers (all 2 of them) will only give pricing in "bytes transferred". they are not interested in giving me pricing based on 95th percentile, and as such i'm having a tough time budgetting for some of my applications. (pisses me off because i'm sure _they_ are paying by 995th percentile) with 95th percentile, i could always trottle down the applications or figure out what my estimated `overage might be. has anyone got a formula for comparing 95th percentile billing with bytes transferred? -- Jim Mercer [email protected] +971 55 410-5633 "I'm Prime Minister of Canada, I live here and I'm going to take a leak." - Lester Pearson in 1967, during a meeting between himself and President Lyndon Johnson, whose Secret Service detail had taken over Pearson's cottage retreat.
