Overview

A global internet bandwidth can be shared by one or more global EIPs at the same time, improving bandwidth utilization.

Global internet bandwidths have to work together with global EIPs for Internet access. You can add one or more global EIPs to the same global internet bandwidth. A global EIP and its global internet bandwidth must use the same access point. Figure 1 shows the architecture.

Global EIP-A, global EIP-B, and global EIP-C are added to global internet bandwidth-A. The global EIPs and the global internet bandwidth use the same access point, that is, CN East-Hangzhou.

Notes and Constraints

  • The global EIPs must have the same access information, including geographic region, geographic area, access point, and type, as their global internet bandwidth.
  • A global EIP to be removed from a global internet bandwidth cannot have an instance bound. If there is an instance, unbind the global EIP from its instance first by referring to Unbinding a Global EIP from an Instance.
  • To unbind a global EIP from an instance, ensure that there are no services running on the instance. Otherwise, services will be interrupted.
  • A global internet bandwidth to be deleted cannot have any global EIP associated.
