    Sorry for the off topic post, but I cant think of anywhere else to ask
    about this.
    I have googled and failed to find any valid answers.

    I understand the principle of 95th percentile for bandwidth charging,
    but I dont get how it is monitored.

    Our bandwidth is provided through a Summit48 switch / router. We get
    given 1MB/s bursting to 2MB/s.

    Is this achieved by configuring our port on the switch/router to have
    a max speed of 2MB/s ? then querying the switch/router every 5 minutes
    for the current throughput ?

    I am just interested really - I dont have any experience with high end
    switches like the Summit. - Is it even possible to set a max bandiwdth
    on the switch's ports ?

    If I am off the mark here, can anyone point me at any info explaining
    how it is implemented.

    Thanks

    Whitey
