About EdgeCenter

EdgeCenter — a Russian CDN provider and cloud platform. In addition to content delivery, it provides DDoS protection, cloud hosting, and DNS services. Its infrastructure is based on Anycast routing and is actively expanding across Russia and the CIS. It is aimed at technology companies and projects with demanding fault-tolerance requirements. EdgeCenter is a dynamically growing provider that regularly increases its infrastructure capacity. The historical throughput chart for a number of regions shows a positive trend: average cached traffic speed grows over a multi-month horizon as new hardware is deployed and uplinks are expanded.

What is Throughput and why measure it?

Throughput — the real data transfer speed between the CDN node and the user. Measured in Mbit/s.
This metric is critical for:

  • video streaming and live broadcasts
  • websites with large images and files
  • software and game distribution

What do the Throughput charts show?

01

Average download speed chart (cached/not cached) — two key scenarios. Cached — the speed of serving files from the CDN cache, reflecting the real performance of the infrastructure. Not cached — the speed when accessing your origin server. A large difference between the lines shows how important it is to configure caching correctly.

02

Cities with low speed — regions with congested uplinks or insufficient capacity of local nodes. Critical for the audience in these specific locations.

03

Providers with low speed — a comparative throughput ranking. A provider with spare capacity doesn't slow down during peak load hours.
