Port hours

Port hours represent the duration for which ports are reserved at the AWS Data Transfer Terminal. Each reservation is subject to a minimum charge of one port hour, with billing calculated based on the total number of hours reserved.

Number of ports used

Each Data Transfer Terminal includes at least two 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100 GbE) ports. Charges are based on the number of ports you actively use during your reservation. For example, using two 100 GbE ports for one hour will incur charges for 2 port hours.
