| WIP | The rate of successful data transfer over a TCP connection to services, measured in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (kbps), megabits per second (Mbps), or gigabits per second (Gbps) measured as 99th percentile over last 5 minutes aggregated across all the connections to services in a node. |
- As a user of vanilla Kubernetes, I want some visibility to ensure my applications meet my performance requirements when connection to services
- As a user of vanilla Kubernetes, I want to understan when my applications meet my performance requirements when connection to services
The aggregated throughput help to understand if the cluster network and applications can handle the required data transfer rates and to identify any bottlenecks limiting throughput.
Requires to collect both the time duration of the connection and the amount of data transferred during that time. This can be done:
- Client-side: In the application code or using a benchmark application.
- Network devices: Packet inspection and analysis on nodes along the network datapath.
