about 300 GB but people who know more about hosting than me say it's less.

1 mbps of bandwidth using the 95th percentile method is equivalent to 320 gigs

PornDiscounts-R · 10-21-2007, 02:08 PM

good to hear, i`m told 324 gigs by my host. so pretty close.
and a great place to be hosted too

1mbps of bandwidth in theoretical numbers is 320GB.
1mbps of bandwidth in the real world is 200-250GB

nice info................

very nice indeed.........always wanted to know what the equivalence was....., yeah.....killing ignorance one concept at a time!

Doesn't 95th percentile depend on burst rates? 320GB is 100% utilisation of 1Mbps for the whole month, which in the real world is near impossible.

One of my hosts is showing me at 2.63Mbps 95th percentile but I've only transferred 440GB in 30 days, which is an average of 1.38Mbps.

so 3mbps/4mbps is about 1 TB ???

You mean average?

I would think 95th percentile could be a lot more or (usually) less depending on the spikes.

95th percentile billing is a big scam in my opinion... unless you have very steady traffic without spikes. You should switch to average billing.

Yes, my example shows it's a bit of a scam.

I'm on "gigs included" pricing but they also report 95th percentile.

My traffic (and I guess a lot of people's) looks like a 24 hour period rollercoaster rather than fence posts over the day. The 2.63Mbps 95th percentile figure isn't that much smaller than the highest peak for the entire month even though I'm using an average of less than half of that.

You don't have to know anything about hosting. All you need to know is 1byte = 8 bits.
1mbps = 1,000,000 bit per sec. = 1,000,000/8 = 125,000 bytes per sec.
= 125 kb/sec = 0.125 mb/sec

60*60*24hours*30day = 2,592,000 seconds in a month.

2,592,000 sec * 0.125 mb/sec = exactly 324,000 Mb per month.

And you don't have to know anything about hosting. Just a higher arithmetics

Ofcouse, practically you can get lower numbers because 324 is a theoretical bound.

speaking of servers, you can talk about 95% (or lower rates) in case you are talking about 10/100/1000Mbps connections and flat rates (as the data plan). 1mbps bandwidth/month is always equivalent of 320GB of data per month, because you are on 10/100/1000Mbps conection. I've never heard of 1/2/3/4 etc. Mbps LAN connection for a server.
