Never heard that one, but conversly most ISPs have a minimum commit for "big expensive ports". For example, 1 meg commits on FastE ports are usually fine because almost nobody still has ports that are only 10Mbit Ethernet. But noone in their right mind will give GigE ports to 10Mbit committers, for potential abuse reasons and port cost reasons at the very least.
And there are at least 4 ways of computing 95th percentile, though I'm sure there've already been threads on this.
There is only one way, anyone else is computing "something else" that they just happen to bill with. But this sounds like a subject for the NANOG FAQ. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
