Supported products

BGP (Multi-ISP)

A high-quality public network line covering multiple regions worldwide. It connects to multiple ISPs and automatically selects the optimal route for fast, stable access. Supported ISPs: China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, China Tietong, China Netcom, CERNET, China Broadcasting Network, Dr. Peng, and Founder Broadband.

  • Elastic Compute Service (ECS)

  • Elastic IP Address (EIP)

  • Classic Load Balancer (CLB) public network

  • Internet Shared Bandwidth

  • Anycast EIP public network

  • IPv6 gateway

  • Global Accelerator (GA) public network

  • Function Compute (FC)

  • Cloud-native API Gateway

  • Microservices Engine cloud-native gateway

BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro

A public network line optimized for traffic from outside the Chinese mainland to the Chinese mainland, improving access quality for international services. Compared with BGP (Multi-ISP), it provides lower latency for end users in the Chinese mainland (excluding data centers in the Chinese mainland) by connecting through premium ISP public networks.

  • Global Accelerator (GA) public network

  • Elastic IP Address (EIP)

  • Internet Shared Bandwidth

CDT Internet traffic prices

CDT Internet traffic uses tiered pricing based on cumulative usage. Usage from multiple services is aggregated and billed by region. Total cost equals the sum of each tier's usage multiplied by its unit price.

Prices for BGP (Multi-ISP) Internet traffic

Effective 00:00:00 on June 1, 2025 (UTC+8), the free quota for CDT Internet traffic increases from 200 GB/month to 220 GB/month. Of this, 20 GB/month can be used in the Chinese mainland, and 200 GB/month can be used outside the Chinese mainland.

  • The first 220 GB per month is free: 20 GB for the Chinese mainland and 200 GB for regions outside. Excess traffic is billed starting from the first tier.

  • Data transfer plan deduction: Only traffic in the first tier (0 to 10 TB) of CDT can be deducted by a data transfer plan. Data transfer plans can be used to deduct traffic that is generated by pay-by-data-transfer ECS, EIP, CLB, and pay-by-data-transfer Internet Shared Bandwidth instances. They cannot be used to deduct Internet traffic generated by FC.

  • The final price is subject to your bill.
