Cross region EC2 to EC2 transfering speed testing

Know How Guide and Hands on Guide for AWS

Cross region EC2 to EC2 transfering speed testing

The latency testing:

  1. Use the tool to check China region and Global region latency https://cn-north-1.sp.awsguru.cn/smokeping/?target=AWS_Regions

China region EC2 (Ningxia region) to global region S3 (Hongkong region and Tokyo region)

https://github.com/liangruibupt/s3-benchmark-testing/blob/master/AWS-S3-CLI.md

Use the iperf3 to testing the EC2 to EC2 Internet transfer speed benchmark

  1. Amazon Linux 2, m5.xlarge 4vCPU, 16GiB RAM, 500GiB gp2 SSD, Up to 10Gbps network bandwidth for both Regions
  2. Enable BBR to improve transfer performance https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/2017.09-release-notes/ for both Regions
  3. Install iperf 
    sudo amazon-linux-extras -y install epel && sudo yum -y install iperf3
  4. Reference link: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/network-throughput-benchmark-linux-ec2/ to see how to use the iperf
  5. Start the iperf3 on server side 
    iperf3 -s
  6. Open Security group TCP 5201 and UDP 5201 port on both regions EC2
