    Equinix samples bandwidth usage every 5 minutes, collecting a total of 8,640 samples per month. At the end of each month, these samples are aggregated and ranked from highest to lowest Mbps.

    The top 5% of samples (that is, the highest 432 samples) are excluded from charges. This sample set is referred to as the 95th percentile for traffic measurements.
