What is IP Anycast?
By deploying a technology known as IP Anycast, or BGP Anycast, InfoRelay providers Internet users with multiple network paths into multiple physical locations hosting your servers. Not only is traffic destined for your servers routed through the shortest path -- using IP Anycast, this traffic is routed to the network location that is the closest to the end-user, thereby greatly reducing latency and improving upon site and application performance.
What does this mean for my site?
By utilizing InfoRelay's IP Anycast, you can reduce network latency and site load-time for your visitors by placing servers at geographically diverse InfoRelay data center locations. Clients accessing your systems will automatically be routed to the closest server, ensuring lowest latency. This is often used in conjuction with DNS servers, which can be setup to route more complex requests, such as HTTP, streaming audio, or SIP (voice over IP) requests.
