Question: 

How is Network Cloud Pricing calculated?

 

Answer: 

Cloud pricing for network is 'worst case scenario'. The pricing is based on all egress traffic for each licensed device. The assumption is made that the egress traffic will exit the cloud. Even with Flow data, we are not able to model pricing because there are too many "what if" scenarios. What is app stack A moves and app stack B does not and they speak to communicate with one another, etc. (ME)

I've found that our Network cost assumption can lead to very high cost estimates in chatty networks ...to the point of being cost prohibitive in the customer's view....on those occasions I have recommended working with the cloud provider
