[LARTC] 95th percentile billing

[Will Tatam]

I am just in the process of swapping ip transit supplier and my new 
supplier is providing an open 100Mb/s connection but billing me on the 
basis of using less than 1Mb/s for 95% of the time

What would be the ideal for me would be setting up my box so that it 
always complied with this.

i.e i want to limit my own connection speed to 1Mb/s but have a suitably 
large bit bucket so that i can burst higher for short periods
The ideal would be a setup where the average speed cap worked out over 
serveral hours. If this were not possible even a few seconds of burst 
would help given that most of the files being downloaded from the 
webserver are only a few k

Is something along these lines possible or have i miss understood the 
documentation
