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 Load Balancer
Made in Germany
EU-wide TCP load balancing at multiple PoPs – ayedo operates anycast routing, failover, and monitoring for you. Reachability without an in-house network ops team, fast provisioning, and predictable edge costs.

Anycast Load Balancing
Our load balancer infrastructure runs on our own systems at multiple EU PoPs – operated and monitored by ayedo. Our own AS, anycast routing, and integrated endpoint monitoring: your developers publish services; we secure reachability and a 99.9% availability target in operations.
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.
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.
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.
Endpoint Monitoring
Automatically integrated
All load balancer endpoints are automatically part of our Endpoint Monitoring – with optional security assessments.
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.
Bandwidth
Traffic analysis
Ingress and egress bandwidth per endpoint, backend, and PoP. With historical trends and peak analysis.
Latency
End-to-end latency
Latency metrics from client to load balancer, to backend, and back. Percentile-based evaluation (p50, p95, p99).
Error Rate
Connection tracking
Overview of backend timeouts, rejected connections, and pool errors. With alerting on threshold violations.
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 Observability.
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.
Session Persistence
Sticky sessions
IP-based session affinity for stateful TCP applications and long-lived connections.
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.
Multi-Backend
Backend pools
TCP load balancing across multiple backends with configurable weights and failover rules.
Anycast Failover
High availability
Automatic failover between PoPs and backends – without DNS changes during outages.
Endpoint Monitoring
Integrated monitoring
All load balancer endpoints are part of our Endpoint Monitoring – including availability alerts.
Pricing
Transparent pricing for TCP load balancing – without hidden costs.
