This is what we are today The new product to be released'full link acceleration FPA'."

The Internet only guarantees connectivity but cannot guarantee network speed and quality

In today's life, we often encounter some bad experiences because of network problems. For example, due to slow file transfers and video conference freezes during work, work efficiency is affected; mobile payments often fail when going to a food farm to buy food; suddenly the connection is dropped at the critical moment of playing games, etc., behind these bad experiences are often network quality problems, no matter how good The application experience and wonderful content can't resist the harm of the network to the user experience.

The core reason behind these network problems is that although the Internet provides an open and free connection, any user and any data can enjoy its transmission channel, but it only provides Best Effort services and does not guarantee network transmission. Speed and quality. At the same time, the uneven level of network capabilities in the last mile (Last Mile) is also one of the main factors affecting the quality of network transmission. On the one hand, the performance of Wi-Fi devices is uneven, and problems such as poor Wi-Fi signal, channel competition, and channel switching are common; on the other hand, the signal coverage of 3G and 4G networks in different environments is limited and the transmission quality fluctuates Large, such as subways, tunnels, and rush hour stations. Therefore, when enterprise applications are used for cross-border, cross-regional, cross-operator interconnection, or when the entire network is congested during peak usage periods, local access network quality is not good, and mobile terminal signals are unstable, poor network will cause delay, jitter, Problems such as packet loss, or even disconnection and inability to connect, seriously degrade our experience.

The existing solutions to the problem of network transmission quality: one is the operator’s private line service, and the other is the global acceleration of GA. These two solutions are based on private lines to build high-quality private channels, although the transmission quality in the channel is guaranteed, including stability Transmission delay, certain bandwidth, etc., but it is faced with problems such as the inability to guarantee the transmission quality of the last mile (Last Mile), the difficulty of covering remote countries and regions, the high resource cost and the high operation and maintenance cost of building a dedicated channel. Another solution is CDN dynamic acceleration. This solution builds virtual channels based on public network scheduling, uses a large number of edge nodes, and provides a relatively usable path through scheduling algorithms. The user coverage is wide, but it cannot guarantee the last mile (Last mile). Mile) transmission quality, but the backbone transmission cannot guarantee the quality, and does not provide stable transmission delay and definite bandwidth.

In summary, the end-to-end network quality problem is still unresolved.

Full link acceleration FPA Provides network QoS guarantee Improve end user access performance by 100%

has served more than 337,000+ applications worldwide, supporting more than 1 trillion real-time audio and video minutes, fully verifying that 161bb2a4f5ccf2 SD-RTN™ has high-speed, stable and reliable global network capabilities. On this basis, the soundnet The full-link acceleration FPA (Full-Path Accelerator) was officially launched. By adding QoS to the Internet, it provides a global end-to-end network transmission service with QoS guarantee for enterprise business applications.

In terms of backbone network transmission, the full-link acceleration FPA is based on SD-RTN™. Through network intelligence, routing planning and scheduling, multi-channel redundancy, etc., combined with extensive deployment of key nodes, it effectively solves network congestion, operator failures, etc. The problem of reduced transmission quality brought by.

In terms of end-user last-mile (Last Mile) transmission, full-link acceleration FPA realizes weak network countermeasures and intelligent access capabilities through the terminal SDK, which greatly improves the quality of Last Mile.

Through the efficient collaborative optimization of "cloud" and "end", the originally unpredictable Internet becomes predictable, manageable, and schedulable. Based on this capability, full-link accelerated FPA can provide users in more than 200 countries and regions with high-level QoS guarantees.

Soundnet FPA has four core advantages: QoS guarantee, full link acceleration, high availability, and global coverage:

1. QoS guarantee : The 200ms packet arrival rate of the entire network exceeds 99.9%, which improves the access performance of end users by 100% on average;

2. Full link acceleration : FPA full link "end" + "cloud" coordinated acceleration, providing better overall acceleration performance and stability.

3. Highly available : Through redundant resources and intelligent scheduling algorithms for the entire network, it does not rely on a single physical resource to eliminate unavailability problems caused by physical line failures.

4. Global coverage : It can provide users in more than 200 countries and regions around the world with stable and high-speed network services anytime, anywhere.

In terms of data security compliance, FPA supports the TLS protocol during the transmission process. The communication between the terminal and the origin site is in a dedicated channel, and the origin site side can not be exposed to the Internet at all to ensure the origin site’s business Safety. Terminal access will also provide dynamic token verification and user authentication. In addition, Shengwang follows internationally recognized information security and privacy protection standards and industry requirements, and has been committed to adopting international best practices to build a privacy and security management system. At present, passed ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC ISO27017, ISO/IEC 27018 system certification, and obtained SOC2 Type 1, SOC2 Type 2 service certification report. well proven its privacy protection and security capabilities .
