<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I believe the 95/5 method is '95th percentile of 5-min average'. Since MRTG normally polls at 5-min intervals this is possible.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you use MRTG/RRDTool with the routers2 frontend, then you get the 95th Percentile calculations automatically, just add the 'percentile = yes' option in the routers2.conf. You may also want to run rrd archiving (see the routers2 documentation) to keep a record if your billing is calculated at a specific time point every month.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are also a couple of other utilities which will calcualte the 95th Percentile directly from .log or .rrd files (see the MRTG website)</FONT></DIV>
