Update Network to Anycast #5

Closed OryonMax closed 2 years ago

OryonMax commented 2 years ago

Please upgrade network to Anycast for highest accuracy in determining user’s geolocation.

Anycast is a method for addressing and routing. In this method, the same IP address is allocated to a group of server nodes which, within a CDN framework, act as a series of servers in different datacenters throughout the world. The traffic sent to this IP address is responded by the topologically closest server to the transmitter of the request. As a result, ArvanCloud IP addresses are simultaneously advertised worldwide, and every user can connect to the closest edge server and get services through the first connection.

There is no technical limitation in this software to not use anycast.
