Is Downstream Traffic or Upstream Traffic Billed?

By default, downstream traffic is billed as follows:

Downstream traffic = Live video bitrate/8 x Time x Average number of viewers

If the ratio between the number of live streams and number of viewers is greater than 1:50, upstream traffic is also billed:

Upstream traffic = Live video bitrate/8 x Time x Number of channels
