How fast is the back network between droplets

Posted November 16, 2014

Hello,

Say I have two separate droplets one is a php server and the other is a MYSQL server.

And I want to connect to the MYSQL droplet, how fast is the connection between droplets?

And any tutorials on how to connect to a second droplet from php like in my example? I.e. what IP would I connect to the database box at? I do not want it to have a web IP address for security reasons.

Thanks!
