Instead of m5n.8xlarge, use m7i.xlarge.

Rational:

  • Closer to real-world libp2p deployments (e.g. < 25 Gibps)
  • Cheaper (~2 USD vs ~0.2 USD)

m5n.8xlarge:

  • 32 vCPUs
  • 128.0 GiB of memory
  • 25 Gibps of bandwidth
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8259CL - 2019

m7i.xlarge:

  • 4 vCPUs
  • 16.0 GiB of memory
  • up to 12.5 Gibps
  • Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids) - 2023

Instead of `m5n.8xlarge`, use `m7i.xlarge`.

Specs look more reasonable. What bandwidth is a single flow limited to? Is it 5 gbps again?

Seeing some intermittent failures with m7i. In order to unblock for now, and
given that the machine type likely doesn't matter, moving to m5 for now.

- 4 vCPUs
- 16.0 GiB of memory
- up to 10 Gibps of bandwidth

Moving forward here. We can still easily change the instance type in the future.

Yes. Bound to 5gbit/s. I will follow-up with new results once we have #276.
