Re: 95th Percentile again (was RE: C&W Peering Problem?)

"samples" to calculate 95th percentile, so a missed sample is equivilent
to a 0 sample. A rate can be interpolated for the missing time, but it is
pretty much guaranteed not to be accurate, and I'd suspect a case could be
made against a provider who "makes up numbers" because of a failure in
their billing system.

Or, just take the next sample and divide it by 10 minutes, rather than 5,
and count it as two samples in the 95th calculation.
