Regional Aggregated Burstable 95th
Regional Aggregated Burstable 95th is a network bandwidth billing model that allows you to uniformly manage and optimize public network bandwidth costs by sharing a bandwidth commitment within a large region, which crosses several cities.
Once this service is activated, when purchasing computing resources such as bare metal instances or virtual machine instances, if you have selected the Regional Aggregated Burstable 95th network pricing, these computing resources will be added in to a regional Bandwidth Cluster and share one bandwidth commitment within the same region. Your computing resources in every city covered by the Bandwidth Cluster will be billed by the 95th percentile bandwidth pricing, and the 95th peak value of each city will be added together to calculate the final 95th peak bandwidth of the Bandwidth Cluster.
This kind of network billing provides a cost-effective and easily manageable regional-level bandwidth sharing and reuse solution.

Bandwidth Cluster
A Bandwidth Cluster is an auto-managed public network service with the regional aggregated burstable 95th bandwidth pricing model. You are allowed to add your computing resources in to a bandwidth cluster and flexibly choose the shared bandwidth commitment, aiming at optimizing network costs.
A Bandwidth Cluster covers a region crossing several cities. See Supported Regions for details.
Burstable 95th Billing
Usage Sampling It samples the bandwidth usage of your resources over a billing cycle. Samples, typically recorded every 5 minutes, indicate the usage at each point.
Percentile Calculation At the end of one billing cycle, these samples are sorted from highest to lowest. and the top 5% are discarded. The highest value left is taken as the billable bandwidth.
Predictable Costs Prevent billing surprises due to temporary surges. Ensure you are not overcharged for infrequent usage peaks. Suited for who wishing to scale their digital infrastructure while maintaining budget-friendly networking solutions.
Bandwidth Commitment
The minimum bandwidth usage that you commit to use every month. The higher the usage, the lower the unit price. If you haven't use the committed amount, you will still be charged by the commitment you have purchased. You can upgrade or downgrade the commitment any time as you want, and the scheduled change will be valid at the 1st of next month.
Overages
The actual usage beyond the bandwidth commitment. The overages will be charged additionally per Mbps. You are recommended to purchased a proper amount of bandwidth commitment to reduce extra overages charge.
Burst Capability
Apart from the commitment, you also have the burst capability to temporarily use a certain times the commitment (varied from different regions) to cope with traffic peaks. Please note that the overages beyond commitment will be charged without bandwidth throttling, except for CN2 regions, which will be throttled.

Billing Example
Scenario Description
On March 15th, the user activated a regional bandwidth cluster (covering cities of A and B) with the commitment of 200 Mbps.
By the end of the month, the 95th peak bandwidth of A city reached 120 Mbps; the 95th peak bandwidth of B city reached 150 Mbps.
In this situation, 200 Mbps Commitment price = $400/month; Overages price = $1.50/Mbps/month.
Billing Process
Commitment charge = $400/30 × 16= $213.33
Overages charge = (120 Mbps + 150 Mbps - 200 Mbps) × $1.50/Mbps × 16 = $1680.00
Total charge = Commitment charge + Overages charge = $213.33 + $1680.00 = $1893.33
