no plus-one (round down)

The usage-reporting percentile command specifies the percentile used by the service provider to determine billable bandwidth. The CNA software will discard measurements above this percentile when calculating billing reports from link-usage data. See the command polling usage on.

Use the plus-one keyword with the usage percentile command to direct the CNA software to always round up to the next higher data point when rounding is required.

See the discussion of percentile in Chapter 4: Polling Routers of the CNA Advanced Monitoring Guide.

The usage-reporting percentile command is one of several related usage parameter commands:

• usage-reporting billing-period
• usage-reporting cost
• usage-reporting formula

Use the no form of the command to remove the percentile value from a link configuration block.
