Is Downstream Traffic or Upstream Traffic Billed?

If the ratio between the number of livestreams and number of viewers is equal to and less than 1:50, only downstream traffic is billed:

Downstream traffic = Livestream bitrate/8 x Livestream length x Average number of viewers

If the ratio between the number of livestreams and number of viewers is greater than 1:50, both downstream and upstream traffic is billed:

Billable traffic = Livestream bitrate/8 x Livestream length x Number of livestreams
