the problem: 95th percentile billing is cool and it is horrible. it is cool because it lets you burst super fast when you need it. it is horrible because you might consume a ton more bandwidth than you expect and end up paying thousands of dollars. capping the bandwidth is a bad idea: you are then not getting half of what your are paying for. capping the bandwidth higher than what you are prepared to pay is probably also a bad idea: it will just draw the bursts out for longer periods.
the solution: auto throttle when close to going over the 95th percentile but... how? Anyone written a script to calculate this stuff, then switch on the shaping to cap the bandwidth so you don't get charged more than you can afford? micah -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
