Global Accelerator Overview

A global accelerator directs user requests to endpoints through the Huawei backbone network.

You can create a global accelerator and select where you would like to use the global accelerator. The system will assign an anycast IP address for access from the nearest access point. When a client sends a request, the request will first go to the nearest access point, then to the Huawei backbone network, and finally to the optimal endpoints.
