NoteNetwork performance varies based on the instance families. For higher concurrent connection and network packet forwarding capabilities, we recommend that you use the g7ne instance family.
The network performance of an instance corresponds to its instance type. A larger instance type provides higher network performance.
The g6 instance family includes the instance types and metrics listed in the following table.
Instance type | vCPU | Memory (GiB) | Baseline/Burst network bandwidth (Gbit/s) | Packet forwarding rate (PPS) | Connections | Multi-queue | ENIs | Private IPv4 addresses per ENI | IPv6 addresses per ENI | Baseline disk IOPS | Baseline disk bandwidth (Gbit/s) |
