Food Guidelines for sound net full link acceleration FPA acceleration in transnational and cross-area networks

Transnational and regional network service quality problems

For small and micro enterprises, independent developers or individual webmasters, it is quite a challenge to ensure smooth access and stable service for their businesses or websites, especially when the businesses involved, including e-commerce and games, require real-time performance and are sensitive to delay, user satisfaction is particularly important. If its user group is widely distributed and has the regional characteristics of transnational and cross-region, it is difficult to meet the business requirements by using traditional CDN, and the cost and complexity of self-built link acceleration by cloud infrastructure are high.

The poor network experience of users across regions severely restricts the service development of these organizations and individuals. To solve the above problems, many people choose to use some free products and services, such as some free public cloud hosts or CDN acceleration. However, the hidden costs of operation and maintenance, management, expansion and rapid iteration are often unbearable. Here we present a possible solution to this dilemma.

Enable the full-link accelerated FPA service at minute level

FPA covers more than 200 countries and regions in the world through the global SD-RTN™ high-speed network coordinated by the end cloud. FPA can provide powerful dynamic and static content acceleration across regions and networks for business scenarios such as portals, e-commerce platforms and UGC communities. It effectively solves problems such as slow network access response and slow dynamic content loading, and comprehensively improves the access experience of end users.

At present, there are two modes to use the full-link FPA of acoustic network, namely IPA mode and SDK mode. The former mode only needs to configure its own DNS Settings, and the latter mode needs to integrate the SDK module of acoustic network in the application. This article introduces the IPA mode, which is also the simplest way. The whole process only needs three steps: registering the sonnet account, creating and configuring the project; Enable the FPA service and obtain the IP address of the accelerator point. Change your DNS resolution to the acceleration point IP address. At present, sonnet full link Acceleration FPA service is free to use until January 31, 2022, with no limitation on data flow! After February 1, 2022, you can get 100GB free per month. This amount is perfectly adequate for most early stage projects.

First, visit sonnet to register your account and create a project, simply check your usage scenario as shown in the picture below. After the project is successfully created, go to the project management page. In the Expand Capabilities area at the lower part of the page, find full Link Acceleration and click Enable.

The page for configuring the full-link Accelerated FPA service is displayed, as shown in the following figure. You can enter multiple IPv4 addresses or domain names as required, or create multiple items. It usually depends on whether you are accelerating in the same area, or administrative convenience; The port number of Web services is usually 80. Set this parameter as required. For security purposes, full-link accelerated FPA supports transparent source address transmission (the source station can be hidden).

To ensure the acceleration effect, enter the value of the region where the source site is located based on actual conditions (you are advised to query your own host service information and enter the value). The acceleration region and source region support city, country, and intercontinental granularity respectively, and both support multiple selection under the corresponding granularity. For example, the region where the source station is located can select multiple cities or countries, and the acceleration region can also select multiple cities or countries or continents (regions) under a certain type. You are advised to select acceleration regions based on your own service traffic characteristics. Considering the free traffic quota of 100GB per month, you are advised to select acceleration regions based on the granularity of the country.

Step 2: After configuring the acceleration service of the project, click “Save” to refresh the page, and then click “Channel Management” to view the OBTAINED IP address information of the acceleration point (there may be more than one according to the acceleration area) and record it for backup.

Step 3 Log in to the DNS server management background and bind the acceleration point IP address in the resolution management. If multiple acceleration zones are selected and multiple IP address information is obtained, these acceleration points can be bound by CNAME in the DNS background.

Other considerations you may need to know

Security is the first problem. Considering the high IP address defense and WAF service price of most cloud service providers, you are advised to set Source Address Transparent transmission when configuring items that require high security. As a LISTED company in the US, Sonnet’s full-link accelerated FPA service supports end-to-end data encryption and complies with GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA and other security and privacy regulations.

The second is that the acceleration direction is not one-way. Developers can either choose to accelerate from mainland China to overseas regions, or reverse the acceleration direction from overseas sources to China. Full-link FPA acceleration of acoustic network supports TCP, UDP and other universal protocol acceleration, and its application scenarios have a broad space for developers to explore by themselves.

Third, the configuration of the acceleration area should be adjusted in time according to their own statistical data. It is recommended that developers pay more attention to the changes of visitor data through Google Statistics, Baidu statistics and other webmaster tools. They can also use soundnet crystal Ball tool (free trial for 30 days) to view and analyze visitor data more accurately, so as to choose the most suitable personalized acceleration strategy for themselves.

Finally, for those who do not meet the default bandwidth, concurrency and project number of full-link accelerated FPA, it is recommended to contact the official for support through work order or developer community.
