Re: How do you (not how do I) calculate 95th percentile?

(I did this fast, and, who knows; I could be off my an order or two of
magnitude)
Most people are using 64 bit counters. This avoids the wrapping problem
(assuming you don't have 100GE and poll more then once every 5 years :-)).
2^64 is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes.
100 GE (100,000,000,000 bits/sec) is 12,500,000,000 bytes/sec.
It would take 1,475,739,525 seconds, or 46.79 years for a counter wrap.
