Measuring network latency - Oracle Database@AWS

Measuring network latency

To measure and validate network latency between your Amazon EC2 instances and Oracle Database@AWS databases, we recommend using sockperf, an open-source TCP-level latency measurement tool. sockperf provides complementary network metrics that help you:

  • Establish network performance baselines

  • Compare performance before and after infrastructure changes

  • Validate that sub-millisecond latency targets are being met

You can also use Oracle database performance tools such as Automatic Workload Repository (AWR), Active Session History (ASH), and SQL Trace for database-level performance analysis.
