95th Percentile Bandwidth Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the 95th Percentile Bandwidth.
B95 = BP * .95
- Where B95 is the 95th percentile bandwidth
- BP is the bandwidth provided by the service provider
What is a 95th Percentile Bandwidth?
Definition:
A 95th percentile bandwidth is a total bandwidth that a service provider specifies that the consumer must be inside the rand for 95% of their usage.
In other words, 95 percent of the time, the user must be below the certain level of bandwidth usage.
How to Calculate 95th Percentile Bandwidth?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate 95th Percentile Bandwidth.
First, determine the bandwidth provided by the service. In this case, the bandwidth is 100 MB/s.
Next, the final and last step is to determine the 95th percentile bandwidth using the formula above:
B95 = BP * .95
B95 = 100 * .95
B95 = 100 MB/s
