Maintaining reliability and scalability for UDP applications is hard.
Applications and infrastructure components often leverage the UDP protocol for DNS lookups, video streaming, online gaming, and transporting log data. However, these uses are sensitive to performance fluctuations and transmission errors. Too much latency or packet loss, and user experiences noticeably suffer.
While UDP load balancers should theoretically help, many offer slow and unreliable packet delivery at high scale.
High-performance UDP load balancing provides robust quality of service at scale
Faster UDP load balancing maintains low latency for a responsive user experience and high packet delivery rates for a robust quality of service compared with other software load balancers. A unified solution provides flexibility to handle UDP applications such as DNS, RADIUS, and Syslog alongside TCP/HTTP traffic.
