[flow-tools] 95th percentile billing information

[William Groh]

By 95th percentile billing, at the lowest levels, I mean taking the amount of
time you are billing for (a month usually) and dividing it into time slices
(usually 5 minutes) then taking 5% of those timeslices with the highest
bandwidth usage and discarding them, the highest remaining peak traffic level
is the bandwidth rate used to bill.

There are a couple of derivatives, but this is a good idea of the concept.
