There is no end to the data mining we can do (sector, volume, other profiles) but at the high level these are strong enough statistics based on few thousands of end users.  So Inbound (IO) and Outbound (OB) split traffic SD and revenues for the higher volume accounts (lower minute rate).

I found that mid-size (8 ports) shows very consistent results while some of the larger users are specific application driven and shows skewed results.
