 == General considerations ==
 
-For max connection testing each client is configured to launch several OpenVPN instances connecting to the same server, if possible. For throughput testing each client only runs one instance of OpenVPN (per processor core).

 == Amazon EC2 ==
 
-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, provided that the server and clients are in the same availability zone (to reduce unnecessary costs).
+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. 
 
 Test environment setup is handled by the Python deployment tool (see below) that utilizes Fabric under the hood.
