Datacenters & Burstable Bandwidth

Hello everyone,

This is probably a novice question but I wanted to make sure I'm understanding correctly.

When you're sold burstable bandwidth w/ commit does anything control the burst allowance on a standard 1g port? Now I know if its capped below a gig obviously something is policing it but lets say you've got a 400mb commit w/ bust to 1g. Is there anything provider side that allots the 401 to 1000 bandwidth based on a metric or do you just get 1000/1000 and pay for usage above commit?

Thanks!
