    106 Amazon EC2 is used for maximum simultaneous connection testing, where a large number of clients is required. It can also be used for throughput tests, especially if server and clients are on the same availability zone.
     106[http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ Amazon EC2] is a service that can be used to generate lots of VMs, e.g. for performance testing purposes. There are several different types of [http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/ instance types] (=VMs) available. The pricing [http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ pricing] is divided into hourly rent and bandwidth costs. The latter only apply to traffic going out of the EC2. So, in order to save bandwidth costs, the whole test environment can be built to EC2 within the same [http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ availability zone].
