Since bandwidth throughput when using Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is very important when routing traffic and services I decided to take some measurements and outline them here for your reference. I ran tests against both 32 Bit and 64 Bit instances, and found some interesting results. These tests were run several times over different days, and the figures are the averages I saw.
*Remember Results May Vary
Methods of Transport:
SCP & CURL
Data File Size:
17 Megabytes
Data Center Bandwidth:
Gigabit (RoutesScience)
SCP Data:
32 Bit CentOS
64 Bit CentOS
CURL (GET NON SSL) Data:
32 Bit CentOS
64 Bit CentOS
Hi Phil,
Just wondering if you got a chance to repeat the EC2 throughput benchmarks recently.
You got a nice passionate blog out there. Keep it coming.
thanks
