Re: [cobalt-users] [RAQ4] Howto Convert kbp/s into GB's ?

[Kameel <kameel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the account has a maximum of 20Gb per 31 day month then:

20Gb == 20,000 Mb == 20,000,000 Kb

In every 31 days there are:
2,678,400 Seconds == 31 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds

So your Kb/s limit should be set to:
20,000,000 Kb / 2,678,400 s = 7.461 Kb/s

Note: While this restricts the total bandwidth usage per month, it does 
also prevent the account from ever serving more than 7.461 kb/s
You should check the usage patterns, as you'll probably find that at 
certain points it exceeds this, and other times it doesn't...

Best,
Kam.
