Megabits per second (Mbps)
For the maximum or minimum Mbps values, megabits per second are computed for each five-minute interval in the month, as follows:
	▪	For each five-minute interval, take the total number of megabits served. (The five-minute interval refers to the way that the database stores data.)
	▪	To get megabits per second served in five minutes, divide by 300 (number of seconds in five minutes).

Maximum Mbps
The calculation for maximum Mbps served in five minutes is:
	▪	Compute the Mbps for each five-minute interval in the month. (See calculation above.)
	▪	Collect values for all CP codes associated with the product in the billing contract or reporting group.
	▪	Take the highest value. This is the maximum Mbps served in five minutes.
Report data may include maximum egress Mbps or maximum total Mbps.
Top
Minimum Mbps
The calculation for minimum Mbps served in five minutes is:
	▪	Compute the Mbps for each five-minute interval in the month. (See calculation above.)
	▪	Collect values for all CP codes associated with the product in the billing contract or reporting group.
	▪	Take the lowest value. This is the minimum Mbps served in five minutes.
Report data may include minimum egress Mbps or minimum total Mbps.

95/5 Mbps
95/5 megabits per second (Mbps) refers to the 95th percentile data value of five-minute intervals of data. Reports show 95/5 values only for customers on Mbps contracts.
The 95/5 calculation is:
	▪	Convert (total or egress) bytes during a five-minute interval to an average traffic rate in Mbits/second (Mbps).
	▪	Do this for all five-minute intervals in a month. (The five-minute interval refers to the way the database stores data.)
	▪	Sort the five-minute intervals in ascending order of Mbits/sec.
	▪	Select the 95th percentile interval. The value of total or egress Mbits/sec at that interval is the 95th percentile number.
See Overview of the 95/5 Calculation for more information.

Overview of 95/5 Calculation
The 95/5 statistic determines a "near maximum" value for a time series, and is commonly used in the networking industry to determin traffic rates. The "95" denotes the "95th percentile" largest value of a time series, while the "5" indicates that the time series has data points every five minutes. For example, suppose you have an Edge Egress Mbps time series with data points every five minutes during a 30-day month. This time series would consist of:
30 days x 24 hours/day x 60 minutes/hour x 1 sample/5 minutes = 8640 samples
If the samples were sorted from least to greatest, the 95th percentile sample would be sample 8208, corresponding to 0.95 x 8640. That sample would be the 95/5 statistic for the time series.
One of the interesting properties of the 95/5 statistic is that even a non-trivial amount of traffic can yield a statistical value of zero. For example, suppose that a content provider serves a steady 100 Mbps of traffic for exactly the first 24 hours (277 5-minutes intervals) of a 30-day month and then serves 0 Mbps for the rest of the month. After sorting, only intervals 8353 and above would contain 1000 Mbps of traffic. Internal 8208, the 95th percentile interval, would indicate 0 Mbps, so the 95/5 for the month for this traffic distribution would be 0 Mbps.
Other statistics can be described in a the same way as the 95/5. A "98/5" statistic would represent the 98th percentil of a file-minute time series. Similarly, and "80/60" statistic would be the 80th percentile of a time serires with data points spread every sixty minutes.
Akamai generally uses the 95/5 statistic to calculate a monthly traffic number for Mbps usage. The statistic is also used to calculate a monthly storage consumption number for Akamai NetStorage as follows. Individual 95/5 statistics are computed for each replication location, and the greatest of these statistics is used as the NetStorage consumption value for the month.

SuperBursting
Object Delivery and Streaming
SuperBursting occurs when HTTP or Streaming Mbps in one or more five-minute intervals during a billing month exceeds four times the Committed Information Rate (CIR). The extra amount charged for SuperBursting is computed as follows:
(Mbps in excess of 4 times the CIR, summed over all 5-minute intervals for which SuperBursting occurs, and the sum converted to MB) x (unit price per extra MB).
Site Delivery
Site Delivery SuperBursting occurs when combined HTTP + Streaming Mbps in one or more five-minute intervals during a billing month exceeds two times the Committed Information Rate (CIR). The extra amount charged for SuperBursting is computed as follows:
(Mbps in excess of 2 times the CIR, summed over all 5-minute intervals for which SuperBursting occurs, the sum converted to MB) x (unit price per extra MB).
