What Is the Difference Between Billing a VPN Gateway by Bandwidth and by Traffic?

A pay-per-use VPN gateway can be billed by bandwidth or by traffic.

Their differences are as follows:
  • Billed by bandwidth: The billing cycle is one hour. The generated fee depends on the bandwidth size.
  • Billed by traffic: The traffic fees generated each hour will be collected. The billing is based on the generated traffic going out of a VPC. The bandwidth size does not affect the price of the public traffic per GB.
