Cloud Data Transfer (CDT) aggregates and bills Internet data transfers and cross-region data transfers for multiple Alibaba Cloud products in a centralized manner. This topic describes the metering methods, maximum bandwidths, and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for the Alibaba Cloud products supported by CDT.
Products and metering methods supported by CDT
CDT bills Internet data transfers and cross-region data transfers in a centralized manner. The following table describes the products for which CDT supports billing.
After CDT is activated and used to bill data transfers for Alibaba Cloud products, all existing and new pay-by-data-transfer instances are automatically billed in CDT in a centralized manner, and pay-by-bandwidth instances continue to be billed in the Alibaba Cloud products. You can choose Expenses > User Center to go to the Expenses and Costs console and click Bill Details to view the billing data in CDT.
Check whether you have a pay-by-data-transfer instance. If you only activate CDT but do not have a pay-by-data-transfer instance, you do not enjoy the data transfer benefits of CDT.
Data transfer type | Supported product | Metering method | Metering cycle | Tiered pricing |
Internet data transfers Note You can use CDT to aggregate and bill the Internet data transfers of multiple Alibaba Cloud products in each region that provide access to the Internet based on tiered pricing. For more information, see Internet data transfers. | Elastic IP Address (EIP) | Pay-by-outbound-data-transfer | Hourly | Supported |
Anycast EIP | Pay-by-dominant-data-transfer | Hourly | ||
Internet Shared Bandwidth | Pay-by-outbound-data-transfer | Hourly | ||

Cross-region data transfers Note You can use CDT to bill the cross-region data transfers incurred by Alibaba Cloud products that provide cross-region access based on the pay-by-data-transfer metering method. Tiered pricing is not supported. For more information, see Inter-region data transfers. | Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) | Pay-by-outbound-data-transfer | Hourly | Not supported |

Maximum bandwidths and SLAs for the products supported by CDT
The following table provides the maximum bandwidths and SLAs of pay-by-data-transfer instances for the products supported by CDT. You can use bandwidths based on your business requirements.
If you need a higher bandwidth, contact your account manager.
Supported product | Maximum bandwidth | SLA |
ECS | 100 Mbit/s. |
|
EIP | 200 Mbit/s. |
|
Anycast EIP | 1,000 Mbit/s. | None. |
Internet Shared Bandwidth | 2,000 Mbit/s. |
|
IPv6 Gateway | 1,000 Mbit/s. | None. |
CLB | For each Alibaba Cloud account, the sum of the maximum bandwidths of all pay-by-data-transfer Internet-facing CLB instances in a region cannot exceed 5 Gbit/s. |
|
GA | 10 Gbit/s. | Service availability of at least 99.95%. |
CEN |
| Service availability of at least 99.95%. |
VPC peering connection |
| None. |
ECR |
Note If you want to create multiple connections, the data transfer fees are multiplied by N based on the single-connection data transfer fees. N indicates the number of connections, which is generally four. | None. |
