abakhashwin · ‎05-06-2009

we are MPLS service provider, we need to deploy new services that when our customer bursting above the CIR we need to charge them for that bursting , we have CE to PE links like 10 M, SO so we are not using dial up or dsl links between the CE and PE , how we can do that billing and what the components required.

The router reports flows to a netflow application that resides on a server. The software can then calculate the 95% and you can bill off of that number. Netflow has low overhead.
