Transit Cost & Concentration Analysis
Transit costs represent one of the largest recurring expenses for any ISP or network operator, yet most teams lack the tooling to systematically optimize their provider mix. RoutePulse delivers ISP-grade transit cost analytics with P95 billing methodology — the same approach used by actual carriers — giving you precise visibility into total cost, cost per Mbps, committed data rates, burst overages, and per-provider breakdowns. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) measures provider concentration risk, immediately flagging single-provider dependencies that threaten both your budget and your resilience. With what-if cost simulation, you can model the financial impact of adding or removing providers, adjusting commit levels, or shifting traffic between transit and peering before making any changes.
The module tracks 8 financial KPI cards covering total cost, cost per Mbps, CDR utilization, burst overage, and per-provider efficiency metrics. A provider efficiency matrix compares cost-per-Mbps across all transit providers and IXP peering connections — including SwissIX, MIX-IT, and MINAP — making it straightforward to identify where peering delivers better economics than transit. Six months of historical P95 billing data with trend analysis reveal seasonal patterns and growth trajectories, while linear regression projections support forward-looking capacity planning decisions. Multi-currency support accommodates international transit contracts, and the transit-versus-peering ratio optimization engine continuously identifies potential savings by shifting traffic to IXP peering where viable. For operators negotiating transit renewals or evaluating new upstream providers, this module provides the data-driven foundation for every commercial decision.
