How to fully utilize the network provided by p4d?

0

Hi, I got a p4d instance and according to the link it has 4 network cards.

To fully utilize this, do I need to assign 4 NICs for each card?

I'd like to get more than 100Gbps throughput when communicating with s3. If it's setup correctly, can I achieve this?

Thanks!

To fully utilize the network capabilities of the p4d instance on AWS, you may indeed need to consider multiple network interfaces. However, note that adding more network interfaces alone might not lead to an increased throughput. The actual throughput also depends on other factors like instance type, the source/destination of the traffic, and the performance of your application.

To maximize the network performance

  • Make sure you have Enhanced Networking enabled.
  • Also you can think of you Jumbo Frames
