What Is the Impact of the Bandwidth Applied for CPTS on the Test?
The required bandwidth depends on the request and response models of a pressure test. For example, if the TPS is 5000 and each request packet is 1 KB in size, the required upstream bandwidth will be 5000 KB. The required downstream bandwidth is calculated in a similar way. Public cloud only limits the upstream bandwidth. Therefore, requests with a body, such as POST/PUT requests, will consume more bandwidth resources.
If the bandwidth is insufficient during the pressure test, network packet loss occurs. The test report shows a higher latency and occurrence of timeout.
