Network speed between linodes

Hi,

Having multiple linodes in the same data center, and using their private IP addresses for internal network communication, are the network speeds, in and out, the same as for non-internal traffic?

Thanks

Hey there,

Network speeds are comparable between private IP addresses and public IP addresses. One advantage of the Private IP traffic is that it doesn't count towards your Network Transfer Quota.

Feel free to use iperf to compare test packets over private and public IP.

I hope that addresses your question!
