Plan the connection

Port speed
Specify peak and sustained bandwidth in bit/s and clarify whether capacity is shared or reserved.
Transfer allowance
Record included ingress/egress, billing units and charges above the allowance.
Application path
Measure transfer between actual endpoints. Port speed alone does not establish end-to-end throughput.
