What is a 95th Percentile Bandwidth?

A 95th percentile bandwidth is a total bandwidth that a service provider specifies that the consumer must be inside the range for 95% of their usage. In other words, 95 percent of the time, the user must be below a certain level of bandwidth usage. This method allows for occasional bandwidth spikes without affecting the overall billing and is commonly used in network management and billing to ensure fair usage.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ B95 = 100 \times 0.95 = 95 \text{ Mbps} \]

The 95th percentile bandwidth is 95 Mbps.
