How about Linode? [2022] Simple evaluation of Linode Newark data center

How about the Linode Newark computer room? How about linode Newark data center? Is the VPS of Newark Computer Room suitable for use in mainland China? How is the performance of the cloud server in the Newark computer room? Although relatively few mainland Chinese users use cloud servers in computer rooms on the east coast of the United States, in fact the east coast is not 100% worse than the west coast because there are too many Chinese on the west coast, and taking NTT and other routes that are not suitable for mainland China will be greatly reduced. . This time I will evaluate the linode cloud server in the Newark computer room.

I have tested several data centers and basically all use AMD EPYC 7601 CPU models with a 2.2GHz main frequency. If you need a higher main frequency, you may need to switch to a non-AMD series. During the current test, the hard disk I/O was roughly 458MB/s. It was easy to turn on BBR:

If you want to test the detailed reading and writing of the hard disk, take a look at the FIO test data:

Look at how much bandwidth can be reached in mainland China, especially pay attention to the distinction between upstream and downstream. The first node is the nearest node. We can basically confirm that the uplink of the lowest configuration VPS is limited to 1Gbps. Judging from the data in the figure below, the data of China Unicom and China Mobile seem to be more stable than those of China Telecom:

Let’s compare again during the evening peak period. The performance of telecom nodes is very different. China Unicom and China Mobile are still relatively stable, especially China Mobile. This is a bit abnormal:

Test results of other nodes in Asia:

The situation in Europe and the United States is still very optimistic:

Guangzhou Telecom downloads the files stored on the VPS directly using the browser. The approximate speed of the test is as follows:

Look at the situation during the evening rush hour, the speed has dropped slightly:

The latency monitoring data of more than 170 nodes around the world are as follows:

Telecom outbound, backbone network docking with NTT:

China Unicom outbound, backbone docking with TATA Communications:

Mobile outbound, direct access to CMI International:

Return to China Telecom:

Beijing direction: Take TATA to Telecom’s Los Angeles node and then connect directly back

Shanghai direction: Take NTT from San Jose to pick up key personnel and return home

Guangzhou direction: Take NTT from Telecom’s San Jose node to connect directly to mainland China

Return to China Unicom:

Beijing direction: Take Telia to bypass France and Germany, and take AS4837 back at the China Unicom Germany node

Shanghai direction: Take GTT from Los Angeles exit to AS4837 and return

Guangzhou direction: Take TATA and pick up AS4837 from the San Jose exit

Return trip to China Mobile: all are directly connected back to China from China Mobile’s nodes on the West Coast of the United States

TIKTOK streaming media detection: no chance

North America, other streaming media detection:

Unix bench Mark：

A rough summary:

The performance of the mobile network is very good whether it is the outbound or return trip, and it is basically a direct connection;

On the return trip, part of the telecom nodes are directly connected from the west coast telecom nodes. China Unicom uses TATA\NTT\GTT to connect to AS4837.

There isn’t much to say about server performance. It can only be said to be not bad, not excellent.
