Question
Will a private network increase the bandwidth between two droplets?
I have a droplet which contains a REST API that I query for data from another droplet which displays this information to customers. I want to know if setting up a private network (as described here would increase the speed at which the frontend droplet could fetch information from the API droplet. I still want both droplets to be independently accessible from outside the network, so I wouldn’t be closing off either droplet to the public Internet.

Don’t know for certain but id say it would consume bandwidth as it is still requesting it over the internet. There would probably be some latency compared to using the REST APi on the same machine / requesting from SSD which would probably be faster.
