I don't agree that this is so for 95th percentile. Exactly which five minute interval a packet is counted in will affect the results. There is no way to totally agree on which such interval a packet belongs in. Similarly, where the five-minute intervals begin and end is arbitrary and affects the final numbers.
It doesn't! You might get a different result as two samplers do not start at the same time. With 5-minute-sampling this max. differs for <5 minutes. You are always counting a five-minute-average and *NOT* the current bandwidth consumption. If you were doing so you are absolutely right. But that's a complete diffent story. So adding up all the five-minute-samples should yield the same amount as if you would have counted bytes. --Arnold
