What exactly is an SLA in proxy IP services?
When choosing a proxy IP service, many organizations see the service provider promising to99.91 TP3T Availability SLA. This number is not written casually, it means that the cumulative downtime of the year can not exceed 8.76 hours. To achieve this goal, it needs to be supported by the three dimensions of IP pool size, node distribution, and failover mechanism together.
Taking ipipgo's operational system as an example, its core strengths areReal residential IP coverage in more than 240 countries worldwideIn addition, a cluster of standby nodes is deployed in each region. When a node has a response delay, the system will automatically switch to an available IP within 20 milliseconds, and this distributed architecture is the underlying guarantee of high availability.
How does dynamic/static IP affect business stability?
When choosing proxy IPs for enterprise-level scenarios, special attention needs to be paid to the differences between dynamic rotation and fixed IPs:
Dynamic Residential IP | Static Residential IP |
---|---|
Change of IP address per request | Fixed IP for a long time |
Suitable for high-frequency data acquisition | Suitable for account management scenarios |
Self-contained IP rotation mechanism | Requires manual maintenance of whitelist |
The special thing about ipipgo is that it supportsHybrid dynamic-static deploymentThe system automatically assigns the best IP type through intelligent routing algorithms. When the system detects that the target website has an anti-crawling mechanism triggered, it will immediately switch the dynamic IP pool; when it needs to maintain the session state, it will enable the static IP, and this strategy improves the availability index by more than 37%.
The hidden benefits of real residential IP
Enterprise level agents are most afraid of encountering IP blocking. Our real-world measurements found that the average blocking rate of data center IPs is as high as 62%, while the likes of ipipgo providesHome Broadband IP, the blocking rate is only 3.81 TP3T. this is because each IP corresponds to a real home network environment, and the request behavior pattern is exactly the same as that of a real user.
Special mention should be made of ipipgo'sProtocol Adaptive Technology, which can automatically match HTTP(S)/SOCKS5 protocols according to the usage scenario. In the e-commerce price monitoring scenario, the technology enables the request success rate to increase from 82% to 99.3%, which is the technical support point of the highly available SLA.
Dual assurance mechanisms at the operation and maintenance level
To achieve 99.9% availability, technical architecture alone is not enough. ipipgo operations team has two killer features:
1. 7×24 hours IP health monitoring: Scan all nodes every 5 minutes and predict potential failed IPs 48 hours in advance
2. Dynamic regional load balancing: Automatically invoke neighboring region resources when IP usage in a region exceeds a threshold
We have simulated an extreme situation: cutting off 50% proxy nodes in a certain country at the same time. The system completed resource scheduling within 18 seconds, and the user side could not perceive any abnormality at all, which is the value of the SLA agreement.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: How can I verify the real availability of the proxy service?
A: It is recommended to test with actual business traffic and monitor three indicators at the same time: response success rate, average latency, and IP repetition rate. ipipgo supports real-time data Kanban, and all indicators can be quantitatively verified.
Q: How to ensure stability during sudden traffic surges?
A: ipipgo's elastic scaling system automatically allocates idle IP resources, and with intelligent QoS flow control, it can cope with 10 times the daily peak of sudden requests.
Q: How should I choose the IP type for different business scenarios?
A: Simply remember the two principles: need to maintain the login state choose static IP, large-scale data collection with dynamic IP. uncertainty can be contacted ipipgo technical team to get a customized solution.
