Anycast Load Balancing

Our Load Balancer infrastructure runs on our own systems at multiple EU PoPs. We operate our own Autonomous System (AS) with our own IP networks and offer Anycast routing for maximum availability and minimal latency.

Anycast Routing

Geo-optimized traffic distribution

Traffic is automatically routed to the nearest PoP. If a PoP fails, another automatically takes over – without DNS propagation or manual intervention.
Anycast BGP Geo-Routing Failover

Own AS

Autonomous System & IP Networks

We operate our own infrastructure with our own AS and IP address space. No dependency on third parties – full control over routing and peering.
AS BGP Peering Infrastructure

TCP Load Balancing

Layer 4 (TCP)

Anycast-based TCP load balancing at our PoPs. Distribute connections across your backends – without HTTP termination, TLS offloading, or WAF.
TCP L4 Anycast Backends

Bring Your Own IP

BYOIP Support

Use your own IP addresses for maximum flexibility. We announce your IP networks through our AS at all PoPs.
BYOIP IP Networks Flexibility Migration

Endpoint Monitoring

Automatically integrated

All load balancer endpoints are automatically part of our Endpoint Monitoring – with optional security assessments.
Monitoring Alerting Security Automatic

Comprehensive Metrics

For each load balancer and endpoint, you receive detailed metrics and statistics – in real-time and historical.

Throughput

Connections & Bytes

Detailed metrics on active TCP connections, new sessions per second, and bytes transferred – per endpoint and aggregated.
Connections Throughput TCP

Bandwidth

Traffic analysis

Ingress and egress bandwidth per endpoint, backend, and PoP. With historical trends and peak analysis.
Bandwidth Traffic Trends

Latency

End-to-end latency

Latency metrics from client to load balancer, to backend, and back. Percentile-based evaluation (p50, p95, p99).
Latency P99 Performance

Error Rate

Connection tracking

Overview of backend timeouts, rejected connections, and pool errors. With alerting on threshold violations.
Errors TCP Alerting

Geo Distribution

Traffic by region

Visualization of traffic by geographic origin and PoP used. For capacity planning and optimization.

Prometheus Export

Native integration

All metrics available as Prometheus endpoint. Seamless integration into your APM Stack.

Features in Detail

TCP load balancing for stateful and stateless workloads – without Layer 7 complexity.

Health Checks

Backend monitoring

Active TCP health checks for your backends. Automatic removal of failed backends from the pool.
Health Checks TCP Failover

Session Persistence

Sticky sessions

IP-based session affinity for stateful TCP applications and long-lived connections.
Sessions IP Affinity Stateful

Source IP Preservation

Real client IPs via Proxy Protocol

Support for Proxy Protocol v1 and v2 – the client IP is passed through to your backends. Ideal for logging, access control, and auditing at the application layer.
Proxy Protocol v1 v2 Source IP

Multi-Backend

Backend pools

TCP load balancing across multiple backends with configurable weights and failover rules.
Backends Pools Weights

Anycast Failover

High availability

Automatic failover between PoPs and backends – without DNS changes during outages.
Anycast HA Failover

Endpoint Monitoring

Integrated monitoring

All load balancer endpoints are part of our Endpoint Monitoring – including availability alerts.
Monitoring Alerting Availability
