Re: Question on 95th percentile and Over-usage transit pricing

* Pradeep Bangera:

Question: Does this over-usage bandwidth charge a linear cost function
or is it sub-linear like the committed bandwidth pricing?

Percentile-based pricing is never linear.  It's not even a continuous
function of bandwidth usage.  This is inherent to the percentile
functional, so it doesn't matter how the quantity that comes out of that
is priced.
