An elastic IP address (EIP) is a public IP address that you can purchase and use as an independent resource.
Line type
EIPs support BGP (Multi-ISP) lines and BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro lines. The following table describes the differences between BGP (Multi-ISP) and BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro.
Item | BGP (Multi-ISP) | BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro |
Advantages | BGP (Multi-ISP) provides high-quality and high-bandwidth BGP lines.
| BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro lines optimize data transmission to the Chinese mainland and improve connection quality for international services. Compared with BGP (Multi-ISP), when BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro lines provide services to users in the Chinese mainland (excluding data centers), cross-border connections are established by using Chinese mainland ISP services. This reduces network latency. |
Supported regions | All regions | China (Hong Kong), Japan (Tokyo), Singapore, Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), Philippines (Manila), Indonesia (Jakarta), and Thailand (Bangkok) Note BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro lines support only the pay-as-you-go billing method in the following regions: Japan (Tokyo), Singapore, Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), Philippines (Manila), Indonesia (Jakarta), and Thailand (Bangkok). |
Anti-DDoS editions
By default, EIPs support Anti-DDoS Origin Basic to protect your services. If you have higher security requirements, you can choose Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium.
Default
Anti-DDoS Origin Basic can mitigate DDoS attacks at up to 5 Gbit/s. Anti-DDoS Origin Basic meets basic security requirements.
Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium
Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium can mitigate DDoS attacks at the Tbit/s level. Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium is ideal for users that require advanced security protection and low network latency. When you use Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium, take note of the following limits:
Only pay-as-you-go EIPs support Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium
You can enable Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium only when you purchase an EIP. After you purchase an EIP for which Anti-DDoS Origin Basic is enabled, you cannot upgrade Anti-DDoS Origin Basic to Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium.
The following regions support EIPs integrated with Anti-DDoS Pro/Premium.
