IP Application Accelerator (IPA) and Dynamic Route for CDN (DCDN) are two independent services, and both support pay-by-data-transfer and pay-by-peak-bandwidth. After you enable IPA, the pay-by-data-transfer metering method is used by default. You can change the metering method based on your business requirements. This topic describes the metering methods and considerations for IPA.
Note
- You are charged for the traffic that is accelerated by using IPA. You are not charged for HTTP requests.
- For more information about IPA pricing, see Pricing.
