Abstract: A network metering service obtains from a data store raw metering data specifying network bandwidth utilization for a plurality of customers. The network metering service aggregates this data in order to identify bandwidth usage for each service of a computing resource service provider and for each customer. Based on this data, the network metering service determines a peak-to-average score and a correlation coefficient for each customer, which may be used to determine a unit cost burden. The network metering service may utilize the unit cost burden for each customer to determine whether the customer should be provided with a discounted rate for network bandwidth usage or should incur a price increase.
