How does BillMax capture time usage or bill for bandwidth?
A To bill for time or bandwidth, first define tiered prices and then set up services using the tiered plans. Gather the data. You can use SNMP, or a web log cruncher, or any other method. Typically, you’ll run this program using cron and generate a sample at appropriate intervals–for instance, every 5 minutes for a T1. Use the enter_stat program to insert the data into the BillMax database.
