7.0 Bandwidth Utilization
Bandwidth utilization and calculation is subject to the following terms and conditions:
7.1 Bandwidth Measurement:
- 7.1.1 The maximum throughput of port assigned to the CUSTOMER is 100Mbps via Fast Ethernet interface unless the CUSTOMER chooses to cap the bandwidth at a fixed level.
- 7.1.2 All traffic utilization for CUSTOMER is measured by using a software program known as Multi-Router Traffic Grapher (herein known as “MRTG”) at the port used by CUSTOMER. The MRTG at APPENGAGE is configured to monitor traffic passing through the switch as well as through the router. At the switch, the MRTG will monitor individual ports linked to each server to determine the traffic volume. Samplings are taken at 5-minute intervals and two samples are taken at each time: A sample to measure the data traffic from the switch to the server. And a sample to measure the data traffic from server to switch;
- 7.1.3 The MRTG can generate data traffic reports based on different time scales at 5-minute intervals, weekly 30-minute intervals and monthly 2-hour intervals. Bandwidth utilization is based upon the 95th percentile of the total bandwidth used. This figure is obtained as follows:
- Raw data is sorted in ascending order up to the maximum incoming or outgoing traffic rate;
- b. The 95th percentile is calculated using the formula: x=0.95n, where ‘n’ represents the total number of samples taken within the month;
- c. The figure obtained (‘x’) is rounded off to the nearest whole number;
- d. The figure that occupies the xth position in the data queue represents the 95th percentile. That is, if ‘x’ is 245, the 245th figure in the data table obtained in step (a) will represent the 95th percentile that will be used to calculate a client’s bandwidth utilization.
7.1.4 Excess bandwidth is deemed to be utilized when the 95th percentile reading at the end of the calendar month exceeds the Total Bandwidth Allocation. CUSTOMER will be billed for such excess bandwidth utilized at RM4.80 per Kbps. For example, if the 95th percentile reading at the end of the calendar month is 2.176Mbps and the CUSTOMER has contracted 1.024Mbps of bandwidth in this Service Agreement, the charge for excess bandwidth payable to APPENGAGE for that month shall be (1152*4.80) =RM5529.60.
7.1.5 Local Traffic and Bandwidth means IP traffic localized to APPENGAGE’ Network or IP traffic to APPENGAGE’ peering partners. For example, if an Internet Service Provider (ISP) has traffic that is routed to APPENGAGE via a non-peering link, this traffic is not considered local traffic. A peering link is defined as an Internet link where free exchange of traffic between ISP and APPENGAGE occurs.
8.2 Bandwidth Charges
8.2.1 APPENGAGE will cap the bandwidth purchased by the CUSTOMER as a default. This is the guaranteed bandwidth levels. CUSTOMER may choose to uncap the bandwidth to allow the bandwidth to burst above the guaranteed bandwidth level. However, CUSTOMER understands that by uncapping the bandwidth, excess bandwidth may be utilized for any particular month and as such this excess bandwidth is charged to the CUSTOMER at the end of each month.
8.2.2 When CUSTOMER chooses to uncap the bandwidth, CUSTOMER agrees to pay APPENGAGE for any excess bandwidth above the 95th Percentile, according to the rates as defined in Sub-Clause
8.2.3 The CUSTOMER will be responsible for monitoring their bandwidth usage from the online MRTG graphs provided by APPENGAGE. For the avoidance of doubt, MRTG graphs provided by APPENGAGE will be the final determination of bandwidth usage.
8.2.4 CUSTOMER agrees to pay for its bandwidth usage as determined by APPENGAGE’ MRTG Graphs in any circumstance including hacking or illegal use, which may result in increased use of bandwidth.
