An elastic IP address (EIP) is a public IP address that you can purchase and use as an independent resource.
Line types
EIP supports the line types of BGP (Multi-ISP) and BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro. The following table describes the differences between BGP (Multi-ISP) and BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro.
Item | BGP (Multi-ISP) | BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro |
Benefits | BGP (Multi-ISP) provides high-quality and high-bandwidth BGP lines.
| BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro lines optimize data transmission to mainland China and improve connection quality for international services. Unlike BGP (Multi-ISP), when BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro lines provide services to users in the Chinese mainland (excluding data centers), cross-border connections are established by using Chinese mainland ISP services. This reduces network latency. |

Security protection types
By default, EIPs protected by Anti-DDoS Origin can mitigate DDoS attacks at up to 5 Gbit/s. If you have higher requirements, you can select Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium.
Default
Anti-DDoS Origin can mitigate DDoS attacks at up to 5 Gbit/s. This meets basic security requirements.
Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium
Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium can mitigate DDoS attacks at the Tbit/s level. Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium is ideal for users that require advanced security protection and low network latency. When you use Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium, take note of the following limits:
Only pay-as-you-go EIPs of the BGP (Multi-ISP) type support Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium.
If you specify an IP address pool to create EIPs protected by Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium, the IP address pool must be of the Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium type.
You can select Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium only when you create EIPs and IP address pools. You cannot switch the security protection type between Default and Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium for existing EIPs.
The following regions support Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium:

When you use Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium, take note of the following information:
If you use EIPs protected by Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium for the first time, click Anti-DDoS Origin 2.0 (Pay-as-you-go) to activate pay-as-you-go Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium.
If you use Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium to protect your EIP, you are charged a protection fee by Anti-DDoS. For more information, see Anti-DDoS Origin 2.0 (Pay-as-you-go).
