Shared Bandwidth Overview

A shared bandwidth can be shared by multiple EIPs and controls the data transfer rate on these EIPs in a centralized manner. All ECSs, BMSs, and load balancers that have EIPs bound in the same region can share a bandwidth.

When you host a large number of applications on the cloud, if each EIP uses an independent bandwidth, a lot of bandwidths are required, increasing O&M workload. If all EIPs share the same bandwidth, VPCs and the region-level bandwidth can be managed in a unified manner, simplifying O&M statistics and network operations cost settlement.

• Lowered Bandwidth Costs

  Region-level bandwidth sharing and multiplexing reduce bandwidth usage and O&M costs.

• Easy to Manage

  Region-level bandwidth sharing and multiplexing simplify O&M statistics, management, and operations cost settlement.

• Flexible Operations

  You can add EIPs that are billed on a pay-per-use basis to a shared bandwidth or remove them from a shared bandwidth regardless of the instances to which they are bound.
