AnyEdge SIP Load Balancer (Anycast)

High availability and surge protection for SIP infrastructure — delivered as a managed service.

Lower Latency, Globally

Anycast routing helps your users reach the nearest point of presence (PoP).

Surge & DDoS Protection

Up to 10 Gbps of L3/L4 protection, plus SIP-aware traffic controls.

High Throughput for Real Traffic

Designed for high CPS workloads with fast updates and failover.

Global Scale, Local Feel

Imagine giving your customers a single service IP that works worldwide.

With AnyEdge, you advertise the same SIP service IP from multiple locations around the world at the same time. When a SIP request arrives, the internet's routing system (BGP) typically delivers it to the nearest available edge location.

It's a safety net: if an edge location or path becomes unavailable, routing can shift to the next best location—without manual failover or DNS changes.

One Global IP

Connect to one service IP, worldwide.

Smart Routing

BGP selects the best available path based on routing policy and conditions.

Instant Failover

Traffic can shift quickly to help maintain service.

How AnyEdge Routes Traffic

Traffic is routed to the nearest available point of presence (PoP) via Anycast.

Latency Optimization

Route users to the nearest PoP to help minimize latency and improve voice quality.

Real-time Load Balancing

Distribute traffic intelligently based on server capacity and health metrics.

Operational Continuity

Scenario: Server Failure

Even when a server goes down during peak traffic, AnyEdge is designed to help keep service online for your users.

In this simulation, notice how AnyEdge quickly detects the failing server and redirects traffic to the remaining healthy nodes. The system automatically rebalances the load, helping absorb the surge while minimizing dropped calls.

Elastic Scalability

Scenario: High Utilization

When traffic spikes and server loads climb, AnyEdge works with your orchestration layer to scale out quickly.

Watch as new capacity is provisioned in response to high utilization. AnyEdge automatically discovers the new healthy node and begins routing traffic to it, restoring the cluster to healthy performance levels.

Defense in Depth

Scenario: DDoS Attack Mitigation

Attacks can be mitigated at the edge. AnyEdge filters out malicious traffic before it hits your core infrastructure.

In this simulation, observe how the system identifies and blocks high-volume attack vectors (red lines) while legitimate SIP traffic (green lines) continues with minimal disruption.

Zero-Downtime Ops

Scenario: Graceful Maintenance

Take servers offline without disrupting active sessions.

When a node is marked for maintenance, AnyEdge stops sending new calls to it and waits for existing sessions to complete. The server "drains" naturally until it is safe to remove.

Speed at the Edge

Scenario: Latency Optimization

Shorten the path your customers take.

Compare standard routing vs. Anycast. By entering the network at the closest local PoP, your users avoid the "zigzag" of the public internet, helping improve voice quality.

FAQ

Common questions about SIP load balancing and Anycast.

What is a SIP load balancer?
A SIP load balancer distributes SIP signaling (and, where applicable, media) across multiple SBCs or SIP servers to improve availability, scale, and operational control.
How is Anycast different from traditional active-active load balancing?
Traditional active-active load balancing often happens inside a region or between fixed endpoints. Anycast uses BGP to route clients to the nearest available edge location. If an edge becomes unavailable, traffic can shift to the next best location.
Does AnyEdge help with NAT pinholing scenarios?
Yes—AnyEdge is designed for scenarios where traffic benefits from a stable service IP, which can be useful for NAT pinholing behavior while still enabling resiliency via Anycast.
What kind of attacks or surges can it mitigate?
AnyEdge can help absorb and manage large volumes of traffic spikes and provides network-layer protection, with SIP-aware controls to reduce impact on call processing.
What does CPS mean in pricing?
CPS stands for calls per second. Pricing is based on the call setup rate you need to sustain, and we confirm sizing during discovery and quoting.
