A customer of ours reported a limit on number of packets in Amazon’s EC2 instances. According to the report, it didn’t happen on all instance types, and didn’t happen all the time. Also, it was unrelated entirely to bandwidth or MTU. According to the report, packet transmission rates were limited the same as CPU on t2/t3 instances — each instance earns credits which, when exhausted, cause throttling.

Disaster recovery involves planning for the worst so organizations can quickly bounce back from a disruptive event. To prepare for hardware failure, power outages, human error, natural disasters — or whatever type of disaster life has in store — companies should put together a disaster recovery plan that identifies risks and outlines steps to mitigate them.
