On the 95th percentile model, I recall reading bursting not calculated for 36 hrs in this model.
In our application, for now, we will only be uploading to the colocation 6 days a week, on a 10 meg upstream - averaging anywhere from 2 hrs nightly to Saturday ....real small upload.
When I look at 95th percentile, I am looking at it that we would be billed at 9Mbps if we were to utilize this billing method as opposed to purchased transit.
some light on the math & or the *36 hr* burstable bandwidth ?
I have a question about 95th percentile billing. Say I have a 6mbit commit. That means I should be getting 2000GB/month. I calculated that if I burst 100mbit until I get 2000GB then do no bandwidth for the rest of the month, I would get charged for 100mbit of commit, is this correct?
100mbps can be rather vague at first so I will now try breaking 100mbps, - my question will be near the bottom.
Ive used a conversion calculator to draw this up.
8192 Mbit (Megabits) = 1 GB (GigaByte) 100 Mb (Megabits) = 0.01220703125 (GigaBytes) So, to reach 1 GB it will take just under 1 min 22 seconds at a rate of 100mbps. 8192 Mbit / 100 Mbit = 81.92 seconds which is 1 min 21.92 seconds. 1 min 21.92 seconds = 1 GB.
My question:
As i am more familiar dealing with Gb's more so than Mbits i have a few questions which i am not so sure about .....
I just had a quick question, I have been using dedicated servers for a long time now, and I was just looking to host one of my own 1U servers that I have been using at home, now I had a simple question, but it seems to confuse me on what exactly do I pay at the end of the month.
I have read about the 95th percentile billing, and paying for 1Mbps.
I usually had 1000GB with my servers, simple, easy.
All I need to know is if I get 1Mbps, can I not go over that 1Mbps while backing up files, or hosting a game server? or is it that I have a certain amount of bandwidth because this is really confusing me.
I have two separate C-class IPs in my vlan and use one single gigabit switch for the uplink and internal/external traffic.
Since last month, I noticed that internal traffic is included in my bandwidth usage. Somehow, traffic from server A to server B is billed! The strange thing is that the traceroute is showing that traffic is not going through the routers, its one single hop.
So I am really wondering how this is possible. Could it be that the provider has changed some vlan settings to let me pay massive overage fees?
how IP transit works? An EU IP transit company who has 5 pop in different country has different pricing for the bandwidth. when they own ASN and have pop in 5 locations.
Whom do these wholesale bandwidth player pays? To tier1 companies?
An US wholesale bandwidth company has same pricing for USA/NL/DE but the company in EU has different pricing for SE/FI/DE/Russia.
Does anyone have any recent experience in dealing with XO for transit? Any noticable latency/congestion on their network or at peering points? Overall customer satisfaction?
It seems most have dropped XO from their hosting networks due to issues. Since their recent network upgrade and business division I am wondering if anything has improved. We already are located in an XO facility bringing in other transit and of course the easiest solution for our next provider would be to bring XO transit into the mix.
I am going to rent a rack on a carrier neutral DC (Interxion in Madrid, Spain) and get bandwitdh from a single provider (Easynet). We don't have the knowledge nor the required time to become RIPE member, setup BGP from multiple providers, etc. so we are going to use a single transit provider.
The question is: In the future, will I be able to add another transit provider and setup BGP using the same IP addresses our current provider will give us?
where I can get some GBLX in Denver, Co. I have been trying to get GBLX fiber to Colorado Springs, but the loop is just too expensive and the price comes to $95 per MB.
Then I try to look in Denver, but it seems that none of the facilities carry GBLX, and the ones that could carry are asking much $65 per mb with 100 Mb at least commitment.
So far, I called Internap and they quote me $65 per mb which I find decent for their quality, but they don’t have their own DC in Denver. It seems that Internap use XO facility which is not good for me at all, (I have heard some bad histories about the XO facilities). I am looking to colo 1 cab with 20 MB/s with possibility to expand to 4 cabs and 50 MB/s in the next 6 months. Price should be decent.
I might end up colocating at a datacenter which serves as a POP for cogent, however the setup fee is $1,000 for this (they already have their own fiber in their building).
Have you ever gotten the setup fee waived before or any tips on negotiating these kinds of things. I don't know if its upto the sales guy to make the call or not.
