A standard 1U server is assumed to use 80 GB of traffic mountly, have one ethernet part and have a 400 W power supply. Resource uses other than these (rack unit, traffic, server, ethernet port, power supply, static IP, etc.) are subject to extra cost.
There is no speed limitation for the Colocation services offered by Teknotel Telekom, enabling the server to be accessible at high speeds at all times. At the end of the month the amount of data transferred form the basis for billing. The most important difference between bandwidth and traffic is that one is stock and the other is flow concept.
