When Do I Need Public Bandwidth for ELB?

To access a load balancer over the Internet, you need to bind an EIP to the load balancer and set a bandwidth when buying the EIP. If you access backend servers through their EIPs, the EIP and bandwidth of the load balancer are not used. If you access the load balancer within a VPC, no bandwidth is required.
