When Do I Need Public Bandwidth for ELB?

To access a load balancer over the Internet, you need to buy an EIP, set a bandwidth for the EIP, and bind the EIP to the load balancer. If you access the load balancer within a VPC, no EIP and bandwidth are required.

If you access backend servers through their EIPs, the EIP and bandwidth of the load balancer are not used.
