Anycast Internet Acceleration

Utilizing an Anycast IP as a gaming accelerator, AIA optimizes gaming requests by directing them through the nearest Alto Cloud node before reaching the game server via Alto Cloud’s private Direct Connect line. This approach drastically reduces internet path distance, leading to notable reductions in latency, jitter, and packet loss. Moreover, AIA streamlines DNS deployment by eliminating the need for additional traffic receiving devices and geographical IP differentiations typically associated with traditional acceleration services.

To ensure seamless transmission of high-quality video and audio across regions during live streaming, the platform needs to establish a dedicated network and access points spanning multiple regions. Leveraging AIA, the platform can directly tap into Alto Cloud’s backbone networks and Points of Presence (POPs) to deliver live streaming content to users without the need for setting up a separate network infrastructure.

The securities sector demands exceptional real-time performance, making any instability in internet transfers intolerable. In the securities industry, application access layers can utilize Anycast IPs for multi-region coverage, leveraging Alto Cloud’s backbone networks for private network transfers. AIA facilitates the utilization of a single IP across multiple regions, streamlining administrative tasks such as obtaining ICP licenses and registering with financial regulatory bodies.

Security cleansing service providers, gaming platforms, and large-scale website applications frequently encounter a range of traffic-based attacks, including SYN floods and ICMP floods. Traditionally, these attacks concentrate on a single region when a common public IP is published, directing all the malicious traffic to a single entry point. However, with AIA, the IP is simultaneously published across multiple regions, dispersing the attack traffic across multiple entry points for absorption, eliminating the need to modify DNS configurations.
