Edge Acceleration for Gaming and Interactive Workloads
Edge cache, Origin Shield and Anycast ingress for patch delivery, campaign spikes and real-time matches.- 91% Edge cache hit
- -90% Origin load
- 99.9% Event-window uptime
Pain points
Common gaming problems
• Campaign pages and server-open spikes hit origin and databases first.
• Matches and long-lived connections are sensitive to latency and jitter, with uneven experience across networks and regions.
• Gaming workloads face frequent DDoS, protocol abuse and cheat-bot probing.

How IXCDN handles it
Spike absorption
Campaign pages, server-open and check-in APIs absorb bursts behind edge cache and rate limits, so origin is not saturated.
Low-latency interactivity
Anycast + GeoDNS nearby ingress and connection reuse cut latency and jitter for matches and WebSocket sessions.
Security in front
L3/L4 and L7 DDoS, WAF, bot management and rate limits apply before requests reach origin.
Access data
Monitoring and access logs by domain, region and status code help locate lag and anomalies.
Benefits
Outcomes
Faster patch delivery
Edge prefetch and chunked cache speed up installer downloads and shorten player waits.
Launch and events stay up
Edge cache and rate limits protect origin through traffic spikes.
90% less origin bandwidth
Origin Shield with a 91% cache hit ratio lowers origin and bandwidth cost.
