Performance
Why send your data around the world? TLD Anycast connects directly to local IXPs, shortening data paths, reducing latencies and limiting exposure of your data.
CIRA has built a global anycast cloud, available as a cost-effective service to other TLD registries needing performance and security for their zone file.
→ Every global node is connected to transit and peered to the local internet exchange (IX) to reduce query time and improve DDoS resilience – over 9,200 peered networks and counting
→ Massive global capacity served from nodes in Europe, Asia and North America
→ Portal-less solution designed for a TLD’s needs
→ PCAP stats collection
Many ccTLDs are looking to enhance their local internet capability by supporting exchange points, standards adoption and sound internet governance. We can help you increase the resilience of the local DNS infrastructure. TLDs may elect to operate their own node within the region and contribute it to the global cloud.
→ Operate as a local or global node
→ Connect directly to local IXP for a more resilient local infrastructure
→ Faster response time for your TLD
CIRA delivers an anycast secondary service for the Canadian market to hundreds of hosting companies, registrars, governments, universities and corporations. TLDs can bring this capability to their nation by offering registrars a free service to enhance the value of domains or by creating your own pricing model and offering a for-revenue service.
→ Complete white-labelled anycast secondary solution for your market
→ World-class DNS performance for your domain holders and registrars
→ Enhanced protection from cyberattacks on the DNS
→ Localized customer web management console (or accessed via REST API)
