Pain points

Typical gaming pain points

• Large patch packages and concentrated concurrent downloads overwhelm origin bandwidth on launch and update peaks.
• Campaign pages and server-open moments drive sudden spikes that crush origin and databases.
• Matches and interactive long-connections are sensitive to latency and jitter, uneven across networks and regions.
• Gaming is a frequent target of DDoS, protocol abuse and cheat-bot probing.

IXCDN

How IXCDN solves it

Patches and campaign assets are cached at the edge for nearby delivery; dynamic APIs and long-connections ride smart routing with connection reuse; all traffic is scrubbed by DDoS/WAF at the edge before reaching origin.

Large file delivery

Installers, patches and assets via edge prefetch + chunked caching + resumable transfer — stable terabyte-scale delivery with up to 90% less origin load.

Spike absorption

Campaign pages, server-open and check-in APIs absorb bursts behind edge cache and rate limiting — origin stays up.

Low-latency interactivity

Anycast + GeoDNS nearby ingress + connection reuse cut latency and jitter for matches and WebSocket sessions.

Security up front

L3/L4 + L7 DDoS, WAF, bot management and rate limiting run before requests reach origin.

Observability

Real-time monitoring and access logs by domain, region and status code to locate lag and anomalies fast.

Benefits

Outcomes

Instant feel

Patches and campaign pages load in seconds — better retention and monetization.

Stable under spikes

Server-open and event peaks stay online without firefighting.

Lower cost

Up to 91% edge cache hit ratio significantly cuts origin bandwidth and server cost.
