Remote desktop session is getting frequently disconnected in VPC Public subnet

Below are a list of possibly reasons this could be happening:

 Influx of ingress and egress traffic could overwhelm the network card -Extended CPU load could overwhelm the system -Windows updates are missing
I recommend is to create another Network Interface for your instance for the sole purpose of Remote Desktop Connections -- use the other Network Interface for normal web traffic, this may help reduce the load. 1. Create an Elastic IP 2. Create a Network Interface (for RDP) with the same Subnet ID and VPC ID of your instance 3. Associate the Elastic IP with your new Network Interface 4. Assign the new Network Interface to your instance 5. Reboot 6. Use the Elastic IP for RDP connections only (Make sure security groups are correct)

test vpn bandwidth and speed with iperf

This article explains how to use a free utility called iPerf to test the speed of a VPN connection. In this example I am running iPerf on windows but there are other versions available (i.e. Linux). Download iPerf from  http://linhost.info/2010/02/iperf-on-windows/ Put a copy on 2 computers with 1 either side of the VPN. In this example I have put in the c:\triangle folder On the “server” PC open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder containing iperf. Note on computers running Win7 or Win2008 I recommend running the cmd prompt in elevated mode. Run the command  iperf –s On the “client” PC open a cmd prompt and again navigate to the folder containing iperf. Run the command  iperf –c After a short while the estimated bandwidth is displayed.
