• 4 nodes running in the same AWS AZ4 caliper
• Caliper instances running at 110 TPS each, on a single on m6a.2xlarge EC2 instance in the same AWS region (latency to nodes ~ 5ms)
• I ran 4 caliper instances to emulate load balancing across the nodes. Each caliper was hard coded to an individual QBFT node
• Each caliper had its own signing key to avoid nonce issues
