Why Is the Outgoing Rate on the ELB Console Inconsistent with the Bandwidth Usage Statistics on the Cloud Eye Console?

In the following scenarios, outgoing rate monitored by ELB is inconsistent with EIP bandwidth usage statistics on Cloud Eye:

  • If the traffic does not exceed the bandwidth set for the EIP, the bandwidth is not limited and Cloud Eye collects statistics on the public network while ELB collects data on the private network.

  • If the traffic exceeds the bandwidth set for the EIP, the bandwidth is limited. Traffic to the ELB system passes through a path that is different from the path in which traffic passes to the EIP.
