What does amazon AWS mean by "network performance"?
amazon-web-services, networking, performance
Solution
It's not official, but Serhiy Topchiy did a benchmark with different instance types:

For US-EAST-1, it seems that LOW corresponds to 50Mb/s, Moderate corresponds to 300Mb/s and High corresponds to 1Gb/s.
Problem
When choosing an amazon aws instance type to launch, there is a property of each type which is "Network Performance" which is either "Low", "Moderate", or "High". I'm wondering what this exactly means. Will my ping be lower if I choose low? Or will it be ok as long as many users aren't logged in at once? I'm launching a real time multiplayer game and I am so I am curious as to exactly what is meant under "network performance". I actually need fairly low memory and processing power, but instances with those criteria usually have "low" network performance. Has anyone experience with the different network performances or have more information?
