Do I Need to Adjust the Bandwidth of Shared Load Balancers Based on the Bandwidth Used by Backend Servers?

  • If a public network load balancer is used, the bandwidth used by its EIP depends on the incoming traffic. It is not determined by the bandwidth used by backend servers. However, you may need to adjust its bandwidth if there is a surge in incoming traffic, which will cause the load balancer to automatically scale up.
  • If a private network load balancer is used, only communications inside the private network are involved, so there is no need to adjust.
