Bandwidth Caps aka Bit Cap

July 21, 2012

CIMM DEFINITION: Limits the transfer of a specified amount of data over a period of time. A cap is sometimes applied by a content delivery channel such as an internet service provider to moderate the content flow so it does not become over-loaded by a few heavier users.

NOTE – Implementation of a bandwidth cap is sometimes termed a Fair Access Policy or Usage-Based Billing. (Source: www.Wikipedia.org)
