IPv6 Gateway:IPv6 gateway billing

When choosing a billing method, consider your required maximum bandwidth and the average bandwidth utilization of your workloads.

IPv6 Internet bandwidth is billed independently of IPv4 Internet bandwidth. For more information about IPv4 Internet bandwidth billing, see Internet bandwidth billing.

Pay-by-bandwidth

With the pay-by-bandwidth method, you are charged for IPv6 Internet bandwidth based on the peak bandwidth that you specify and the billing duration.

• The billing cycle is one day. If your usage is less than a full day, you are still charged for the entire day.

• The Internet bandwidth fee uses tiered pricing based on a 5 Mbps threshold.

  • If the peak bandwidth is from 1 Mbps to 5 Mbps:

    Bandwidth fee = (Unit price for bandwidth from 1 to 5 Mbps) (USD/Mbps/day) × [Billing duration (hours) / 24] (days) × Peak bandwidth (Mbps)

  • If the peak bandwidth is greater than 5 Mbps:

    Bandwidth fee = [(Unit price for bandwidth from 1 to 5 Mbps) (USD/Mbps/day) × 5 + (Unit price for bandwidth greater than 5 Mbps) (USD/Mbps/day) × (n - 5)] × [Billing duration (hours) / 24] (days)

    Where n is the peak bandwidth.

• You can change the peak bandwidth at any time. If you change the peak bandwidth within a billing cycle, you are billed based on the highest value set during that cycle.

Pay-by-data-transfer

In a billing cycle, Traffic fee = Unit price of traffic (USD/GB) × Traffic usage (GB)

• The billing cycle and settlement cycle are both one hour. Partial hours are billed as full hours.

• You are charged for the total outbound data transfer from your IPv6 address. Inbound data transfer is not billed. Outbound data flows from an Alibaba Cloud data center to the internet, while inbound data flows from the internet to the data center.

• You can use a Data Transfer Plan to offset pay-by-data-transfer IPv6 Internet bandwidth.

• Changing the peak bandwidth does not affect the unit price. However, to avoid excessive charges from programming errors or malicious traffic, we recommend setting a bandwidth limit that matches your actual needs.

• The data transfer fees for each region are listed in the table below.

  If the regions and prices in the console differ from the information in this topic, the information in the console prevails.
