Same Pipe, Different Metrics
Bandwidth is the speed limit of your port; traffic is the amount of data you actually move during a billing cycle.
🚀 Bandwidth
- Measured in Mbit/s or Gbit/s
- Represents real-time throughput capacity
- EDBB hypervisors use multi-gigabit uplinks for bursty workloads
📦 Traffic
- Measured in GB or TB per month
- Counts all in/out data transfer during the billing period
- Each VPS plan includes a traffic pool you can top up if needed
Visualizing the Difference
Imagine a highway:- Bandwidth is how many lanes you have—the maximum cars per second.
- Traffic is how many cars actually drove down that highway this month.
- You can burst to the full lane capacity, but the total number of cars still counts toward your traffic allowance.
