Traffic
Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) traffic management controls and optimizes data flow at points of presence (POPs) to prevent congestion, reduce origin load, accelerate content delivery, and enhance access experience.
Features overview
-
Smart Routing probes Alibaba Cloud's global edge network in real time and selects the optimal request path to reduce latency and failure rates. Combined with a high-performance protocol stack, it improves response speed and business continuity.
-
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. Available configurations:
-
ESA uses the origin pool feature to intelligently distribute and manage traffic at POPs, ensuring even distribution of traffic to improve availability and reliability, optimize resource utilization, and enhance overall network performance and user experience.
-
Load balancing distributes traffic across multiple origin servers based on flexible traffic steering policies to reduce latency and improve service availability.
