Bandwidth and traffic
Plan network speed and transferred data separately when sizing a cloud workload.
Speed is not the same as traffic volume
Data source→Network path→Application or user
Plan the connection
- Port speed
- Specify peak and sustained bandwidth in bit/s and clarify whether capacity is shared or reserved.
- Transfer allowance
- Record included ingress/egress, billing units and charges above the allowance.
- Application path
- Measure transfer between actual endpoints. Port speed alone does not establish end-to-end throughput.
