Edge Security Acceleration:Smart Routing

Last Updated:Oct 22, 2024

If your website offers pure dynamic content or a combination of dynamic and static content, such as transactions, gaming, or APIs, the origin server returns differentiated content in response to user requests for dynamic content. However, the communication between users and the origin server may experience delays or failures due to unstable network conditions across borders, regions, or Internet service providers (ISPs). To tackle with this issue, you can enable Smart Routing to monitor the quality of Alibaba Cloud's global POP network in real time and route traffic along the most efficient path. In addition, optimization technologies such as performant protocol stacks are integrated to reduce the global network latency and request failure rate. This boosts user experience and ensures business continuity.
