Fixed Bandwidth Billing

Billing Method

Prepaid

Billing Cycle

On a monthly/annual basis; The bill is generated immediately upon purchase.

Billing Algorithm

• Total bandwidth cost = Fixed bandwidth of bandwidth package * Monthly unit price * (Valid Time / Total Billing Month’s hours) * Intelligent Path Coefficient * Quality of Service Coefficient * Bandwidth Type Coefficient;

  • If there are bandwidth upgrades or downgrades in the bandwidth package within a month, the original fixed bandwidth is still used for billing before the adjustment time point, and the new fixed bandwidth is used for billing afterwards, with corresponding refunds/additional payments;

  • The billing time granularity is accurate to seconds;

  • If the user’s purchase cycle is not a whole natural month, the final bandwidth cost for the month = original bandwidth cost * valid days / total days in the billing month for calculation;

Billing Example

For example: Customer A, at 10:30:00 on the morning of August 5, purchased a fixed bandwidth from Beijing to Shanghai of 300M, with low latency intelligent path and platinum quality of service, and the product’s unit price is 200 yuan/M/month. The bill for Customer A this month is calculated as follows:

Fixed bandwidth: 300M;
Product Monthly Price: 200 yuan/M/month;
The coefficient of valid time this month: 26 days 13 hours 30 minutes 0 seconds / 31 days = (2246400+46800+1800) / 2678400= 0.8569

Intelligent Path coefficient: 1;
Quality of Service coefficient: 1;
Bandwidth Type coefficient: 1;

The actual bill for this month is: 300 * 200 * 0.8569 * 1 * 1 * 1= 51414 yuan

Max5 Peak Bandwidth Billing

Billing Method

Postpaid

Billing Cycle

On a monthly/annual basis; generated at 24 o’clock on the last day of each month.

Billing Algorithm

1). If the actual billing bandwidth is less than or equal to the base bandwidth;

Total Bandwidth Cost = Base Bandwidth * Product Monthly Price * (Valid Time / Total Billing Month Time) * Intelligent Path Coefficient * Quality of Service Coefficient * Bandwidth Type Coefficient;

2). If the actual billing bandwidth is greater than the base bandwidth;

Total Bandwidth Cost = Base Bandwidth * Product Monthly Price * (Valid Days / Total Billing Month Days) * Intelligent Path Coefficient * Quality of Service Coefficient + Excess Base Bandwidth * Product Monthly Price * (Valid Days / Total Billing Month Days) * Intelligent Path Coefficient * Quality of Service Coefficient;

• Daily Peak: Average one outbound and inbound bandwidth every 5 minutes as a peak, then take the larger value as one effective bandwidth peak point, 288 statistical points per day, take the 5th largest peak value after descending order as the daily bandwidth daily peak.

• Monthly Peak: On the settlement date, the daily peak values are sorted in descending order, and the average of the top 5 daily peak bandwidths is taken as the monthly peak.

• Base Bandwidth: After the user sets the peak bandwidth, the system will automatically calculate the base bandwidth according to the base rate.

• Billing Bandwidth: If the monthly peak bandwidth in the current month is less than the base bandwidth, the final billing bandwidth is calculated according to the base bandwidth; otherwise, the billing bandwidth is billed according to the monthly peak bandwidth in the current month.

• Valid Time: From the time the service is opened until the time of bill settlement, the granularity of billing time is accurate to seconds.

• Total Time in the Billing Month: The actual total duration of the bandwidth package used in the calendar month.

Billing Example

For example: Customer A, at 10:30:00 on the morning of August 5, purchased a Max5 peak bandwidth from Beijing to Shanghai with a peak value of 500M. The default base bandwidth ratio is 20%, the intelligent path is low latency, the quality of service is platinum, the bandwidth type is symmetric bandwidth, the product’s monthly unit price is 300 yuan/M/month, and the customer’s peak bandwidth for this month is 350M. The bill of Customer A this month is:

Base bandwidth: 100M Limited bandwidth: 500M Actual monthly bandwidth usage: 350M
Bandwidth monthly unit price: 300 yuan/M/month

This month’s valid days: The customer’s service was activated at 10:30:00 on August 5, so the valid time is from 10:30:01 on August 5 to 24:00:00 on August 31, a total of 2295000 seconds, and the total time this month is 2678400 seconds;

Intelligent Path Coefficient: 1;
Quality of Service Coefficient: 1;

This month’s actual bill: 350 * 300 * (2295000/2678400) * 1 * 1 = 89969 yuan

Traffic Billing (Coming Soon)

Billing Method

Postpaid

Billing Cycle

The smallest billing duration unit is day, and today’s bill is generated at 12 o’clock every day.

Billing Algorithm

Total Cost = Actual Use Traffic * Traffic Unit Price

• Billed according to actual use, counting outbound traffic of both ends;

• Traffic counting granularity is at least MB, less than 1MB is treated as 1MB;

Billing Example

For example: Customer A, at 10:30:00 on the morning of August 5, bought a traffic billing bandwidth from Beijing to Shanghai of 30M. The unit price of the product is 50 yuan/Month. Today’s outbound traffic in Beijing is 100.35M and Shanghai’s outbound traffic is 50.2M. The bill for Customer A today is:

Today’s usage traffic: 100.35 + 50.2 = 150.55M. Actual billing traffic is 151M as less than 1M is treated as 1M;

Today’s bill: 151 * 50 = 7550 yuan;
