Recently we've been improving WMSPanel reporting capabilities with features that would be useful for billing purposes. Daily Stats functionality shows several important numbers that are often used for charging clients. Those are views count, peak bandwidth and traffic. There is also total duration counted for each day. They are all combined and calculated using 30-seconds sync-ups which a server gives to our front-end.
Even though we get and process these numbers on a high-frequency basis, industry standards often require other calculations. A lot of companies prefer 5 minutes interval for calculations.
And so we make those calculations. For selected date and time range we collect:
If a visitor started watching at 13:59 and finished watching at 14:11, his connection will be added to total number of connections in 14:10 bucket. His traffic, however, will be spread among 4 intervals: 13:55, 14:00. 14:05 and 14:10.
So last night live football streaming will be measured precisely by the time of the game, with ability to get number of people watching game periods and advertising.
We added those 4 new calculated numbers in addition to existing combined reports and high-detailed reports.

And so we make those calculations. For selected date and time range we collect:
- peak bandwidth taken as a maximum of all peak numbers per given 5-minute ranges
- time of peak bandwidth;
- 95% peak bandwidth;
- total traffic - the amount of information transferred during time period;
- total count of visitors.
