With access control comes issues of security, and that's a whole other bag of cats. This post is about presenting an answer to this question, without the fuss.

95th percentile billing commonly misspelled as “percential” is a method used by some NOCs to change for bandwidth.

The system is simple and essentially discards the top 5% of your traffic peaks, and then uses the next value down as your bandwidth rate. 5% of a month is 36 hours. This might sound like a bit of a scam, because you’re being billed for bandwidth consumption that you may not have used, but it’s not difficult to get it to work for you.

If you’re hosting a site where a lot of content is downloaded, it may be better to go for bandwidth billing. A client’s content server uses about 8,000GB transfer per month and shows a 95th percentile of 34mbit/sec. It’s certainly cheaper to pay for 8,000GB transfer over 30+mbit/sec dedicated.

Other servers are connected to a 95th percentile billing system in my setup. These servers if left unrestricted would peak at about 40mbit and possibly hit a 95th percentile value of about 7mbit, however I’d rather pay for 4mbit. I set my traffic limiter to 4mbit/sec allowing a 2.8 second per minute (
