One 10-second download and upload per destination, three concurrent streams, IPv4 over HTTPS, with no configured rate limit. HTTP latency and jitter are application-level measurements; packet loss was not measured. These paths do not establish maximum link capacity.

A separate deployment tested only for networking. These values are not measurements from an earlier full benchmark VM.

12 GiB outbound-interface abort threshold is sampled; kernel buffering and sampling may overshoot. Retained counters disclose actual observed bytes.

One deployment describes this report, not every server a provider operates.

A 37 min test window does not establish 24-hour consistency or long-term reliability.

Review and measurement limits
  • Fresh deployment; network-only test. CPU, memory bandwidth, disk, database and 24-hour consistency workloads were not run.
  • Throughput is relative to named public HTTPS destinations, not guaranteed port capacity or every Internet path.
  • One 10-second download and upload per target with three streams; no application throughput rate cap.
  • HTTP latency/jitter are application-level observations. ICMP latency and packet loss were not measured.
  • 12 GiB outbound-interface abort threshold is sampled; kernel buffering and sampling may overshoot. Retained counters disclose actual observed bytes.
  • No hardware attestation. Individual observations are not a causal provider ranking.
  • This report received AI-assisted evidence review under user-delegated authorization. This is not independent human verification or hardware attestation.
  • This pilot measures its recorded test window. It does not establish 24-hour consistency, long-term reliability or provider-wide performance.
  • SKU and region were matched to retained deployment records. A missing detected SKU uses the operator-supplied plan and remains labelled supplied. Control-plane records and checksums do not attest the physical host or establish physical-host independence.
