What Are the Factors That Affect Upload and Download Speeds of OBS?

The OBS upload and download speeds may be affected by:

  • Default upper limit of the OBS read/write bandwidth allowed for a single Huawei Cloud account: 16 Gbit/s (which means the total GET and PUT bandwidths over both public and private networks)

    If the actual bandwidth reaches this upper limit, flow control will be triggered.

  • Bandwidth of the purchased VM NIC

    If the NIC bandwidth is lower than 16 Gbit/s, the node bandwidth will be limited by the VM bandwidth. You need to purchase multiple VMs to run concurrently to reach 16 Gbit/s.

  • Disk I/O and resource contention
