Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) manages streams of data at points of presence (POPs) by the traffic management features. It controls and optimizes traffic distribution to prevent network congestion, which not only reduces the load on the origin server but also accelerates content distribution and enhances user access experience.

Features overview

  • Smart routing

    This topic introduces what smart routing is, how it is billed, and how to enable the feature in the ESA console.

  • Waiting Room

    Waiting Room allows you to manage excess origin requests to prevent server downtime caused by traffic surges. You can configure how many users are allowed on your origin and queue excess users in a waiting room.

  • Origin pools

    ESA uses the origin pool feature to intelligently distribute and manage traffic at POPs, ensuring even distribution of traffic and optimizing resource utilization. This not only improves service availability and reliability but also enhances overall network performance and user experience.

  • Load balancing

    Load balancing distributes traffic among origin servers according to traffic steering policies to reduce latency and improve service availability.
