DCDN accelerates dynamic content delivery by using smart routing to select the optimal back-to-origin path. You can configure the origin protocol policy and load balancing independently or together based on your needs.
Configure the origin protocol policy to retrieve dynamic content
By default, the origin protocol matches the origin server port. You can change it to match the client protocol instead. If both Static Origin Protocol Policy and Dynamic Origin Protocol Policy are configured, the dynamic policy takes effect.

Parameter
Description
Match Client
POPs communicate with the origin server over the same protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) that the client uses to request resources.

HTTP
POPs communicate with the origin server over HTTP.
HTTPS
POPs communicate with the origin server over HTTPS.
-
Click OK.
Enable load balancing
By default, requests are redirected to origin servers based on server performance. Enable load balancing to redirect requests based on origin server weights instead.
-
Performance-based redirection
Requests are redirected to the origin server with the best performance. This is the default behavior.
-
Weight-based redirection
Requests are redirected to origin servers based on their assigned weights. To modify origin server weights, see Configure an origin server.
