How about Linode? [2022] Linode Japan Tokyo Cloud Server Evaluation and Sharing

What is the current situation of the cloud servers in Linode's Japanese data center? Is the network disconnected and QOS? Is the performance terrible? Is it still suitable for netizens in mainland China? We are here to open a new cloud server with the lowest configuration in Tokyo, Japan, for everyone to do a simple evaluation. You can use the data to judge whether the current situation is still suitable for your use. If you don't want to read a long list, just scroll to the end of this article and read the summary words.

After getting the cloud server (VPS), I saw that the CPU was AMD EPYC 7601, clocked at 2.2GHz. The webmaster turned on BBR, and the hard disk I/O was approximately 723MB/S:

FIO tests the detailed reading and writing conditions of the hard disk. The data is as follows:

Let’s take a look at what the bandwidth can be like: judging from the nearest node in the first line of speedtest, the uplink can run 1Gbps and the downlink can run 7Gbps; from the node test of the three networks in mainland China below, the uplink China Unicom can basically run Yes, the downlink can roughly reach 5Gbps...

Let’s compare the situation during the evening rush hour and the exit explosion. Overall, China Telecom is terrible, China Unicom is relatively okay, and China Mobile is just so-so:

Uplink and downlink tests of other nodes in Asia, the data are as follows:

iperf3’s test on European and American nodes has the following results:

For the files stored on the VPS, the webmaster is Guangzhou Telecom. The most intuitive speed test is done by directly browsing and downloading with Chrome. The webmaster uses three pictures to tell you the most realistic situation: the speed at noon is 4.9MB/S. During the evening peak period, the traffic interruption speed is 0 and then restored to 2.1MB/S. This situation will occur repeatedly.

Latency monitoring of 168 nodes around the world:

For outbound telecommunications, take NTT after the backbone network:

China Unicom’s outbound journey and backbone network are also NTT:

Moving outbound, CMI connects with PCCW:

Return to China Telecom: all via NTT

On the return trip to China Unicom: all via NTT

Return, move to mainland China: Japan NTT to Hong Kong NTT and then directly connect back

The approximate results of the streaming media test are as follows. There is no guarantee that this is the case. Since it is an IDC IP and there are different segments, you can just take a look at it roughly:

tiktok test: IDC section, there is a high possibility that there will be problems when doing tasks

Unix bench Mark：

A rough summary:

Whether going or returning, the overall network is mainly based on NTT. Telecom is a mess, China Unicom is relatively okay. The mobile return trip is not particularly affected since NTT goes to Hong Kong and then comes back, so it is okay. Therefore, I would like to specifically discourage telecommunications user groups from wasting money. Memory, hard disk reading and writing, and CPU performance are all pretty good, not bad at all!
