Bandwidth cost assignment for multi-tenant networks

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, as a result of being executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:

• determine user bandwidth utilization data for a plurality of users by, for each user of a first set of users in the plurality of users:
• determining a cost burden associated with a user's bandwidth usage, the cost burden based at least in part on:
• a value indicative of a ratio between peak bandwidth usage by the user and an average bandwidth usage of a computing resource service provider network during a first time period;
• and
• a coefficient value indicative of a probability that the peak bandwidth usage by the user matches the average bandwidth usage, wherein the peak bandwidth usage by the user is determined based at least in part on metered bandwidth usage by the user interacting with the computing resource service provider network;
• identifying a second set of users based at least in part on the cost burden exceeding a threshold value;
• and
• reducing an amount of bandwidth network resources available to be used by at least a portion of the second set of users within an identified time period corresponding to a time of peak bandwidth usage for the computing resource service provider network, thereby improving efficiency of the computing resource service provider network.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• obtaining data associated with bandwidth usage of a plurality of users of a computer resource service provider network;
• and
• determining user bandwidth utilization data for the plurality of users by, for each user of a set of users in the plurality of users:
• determining a cost burden associated with the user's bandwidth usage, the cost burden determined based at least in part on:
• a first value indicating a ratio between a peak bandwidth usage by the user and an average bandwidth usage of the computer resource service provider network during a time period at which the peak bandwidth usage is identified;
• and
• a second value indicating a correlation coefficient between the peak bandwidth usage of the user and the bandwidth usage of the plurality of the users of the computer resource service provider network, wherein the peak bandwidth usage of the user is determined based at least in part on measured bandwidth usage by the user of the computer resource service provider network;
• and
• reducing an amount of bandwidth network resources available to be used by a user of the set of users at least within an identified time period corresponding to a time of peak bandwidth usage of the computer resource service provider network, thereby improving efficiency of the computer resource service provider network.
