Traffic Summary

The Traffic Summary report tracks the amount of traffic routed through the CDN over a given month.

This report reflects the CDN traffic used to bill your account.

For the purposes of billing, report data is closed on the 3rd of the month. This means that report data for the current month is incomplete until after the third of the next month.

This report may be filtered to only show data for traffic that is routed to a particular region. The available regions are explained below.

Region Description

Global

Select this region to generate a report for all CDN traffic on your account.

North America & Europe

Select this region to generate a report for CDN traffic routed through our POPs in North America and Europe.

Asia & South America

Select this region to generate a report for CDN traffic routed through our POPs in Asia & South America.

Traffic routed through premium POPs in Asia and South America countries is billed at a different rate. The geographic delivery region associated with purchased services determines whether your traffic can leverage premium transit links and POPs.

The Traffic Summary report consists of two sections, which are Traffic By Media Type and Customer Storage. Both sections are explained below.

The Traffic By Media Type section provides a breakdown of total traffic activity by platform for the given region over the specified time period. A description is provided below for each available field.

Field Description

Media Type Name

Provides a list of platforms for which traffic information will be displayed.

95% Bandwidth

If your contract stipulates that you will be charged by bandwidth usage, then this field can be used as a billing indicator. It reports the amount of data (Megabits) transferred per second when your traffic is at 95% of peak usage as calculated over the course of a month.

ClosedHow is this metric calculated?

This metric is calculated on a monthly basis via the following process:

  1. Average aggregate use is calculated every five minutes by sampling inbound and outbound traffic.
  2. This data is collected at the end of the month and then sorted from highest to lowest.
  3. The top five percent of this data is then dropped.
  4. The highest remaining average aggregate use represents the 95% bandwidth usage for that month.

Data Transferred (GB)

Indicates the total amount of data (GB) transferred through the CDN for a particular platform.

Data Transferred (TB)
