This report analyses the current deployment locations of the Pocket Network Portal (PNP) interfaces in the Amazon Web Services ecosystem. Currently the PNPs are deployed in multiple locations, this represents a high cost for both the Pocket Network Inc. and the servicer node operators. In this document we demonstrate that the current deployment strategy is sub-optimal and a better Quality of Service (QoS) can be achieved by reduc- ing the number of portals. More specifically, we show that the average QoS of the net- work can be reduced from 155 ms to 120 ms by keeping only three PNPs: ap-southeast-1, eu-central-1 and us-east-1.
