Bandwidth Calculation

Each account is measured using a burstable model for bandwidth calculation, which is based on the 95th percentile of clean traffic usage.

The 95th percentile bandwidth is calculated in the following way:

• Traffic for the entire month is measured in 5 minute buckets.

• At the end of the month, the top 5% of buckets with the highest Mbps are discarded. The highest Mbps rate from the remaining buckets represents the 95th percentile value for the account.

At the beginning of each month, the 95th percentile bandwidth displayed in FortiWeb Cloud may appear very low, or even as 0. This is because not enough 5-minute data intervals (buckets) have been collected to calculate an accurate value. As more buckets are generated throughout the month, the value becomes more accurate.

Purchasing and Activating FortiAppSec Cloud contracts

To purchase a FortiAppSec Cloud Contract from Fortinet, please contact our sales team.

Please note that the Standard and Advanced plans require separate licenses for applications and bandwidth. These licenses respectively determine how many applications you can add to your account and the maximum bandwidth allowed. Both licenses are required to activate the service contract.
