Global Accelerator quotas and limits - Global Accelerator

This topic describes the configuration limits and default resource quotas for Global Accelerator (GA) and explains how to request a quota increase.

Instance configuration limits

The following diagram shows the configuration options and dependencies for standard and basic instances.

Pay-as-you-go standard GA instances support multiple acceleration IP types, including EIP and Anycast EIP. Subscription standard GA instances support only the EIP acceleration IP type.
For a Subscription standard instance, you must select an appropriate instance specification and associate a basic bandwidth plan.
You can associate Subscription basic instances only with basic bandwidth plans that provide basic or premium bandwidth.
For basic GA instances, the acceleration IP type defaults to EIP and does not support Anycast EIP.

Note

Instance specifications of Large III and higher are not available by default. To use these specifications, contact your account manager.

GA instance limits

Resource	Standard instance default quota	Basic instance default quota	Increase request
Number of standard instances per Alibaba Cloud account	10	No limit	You can increase quotas in Quota Center or on the Quota Management page. For more information, see Increase a quota.
Supported endpoint types	Deployed on Alibaba Cloud: Elastic Compute Service instances, elastic network interfaces (ENIs), Application Load Balancer (ALB), Network Load Balancer (NLB), Classic Load Balancer (CLB), Object Storage Service (OSS) buckets, Alibaba Cloud public IP addresses, custom private IP addresses, and vSwitches. Deployed outside Alibaba Cloud: custom public IP addresses or custom domain names. Note For more information about endpoint types, see Endpoints.	elastic network interfaces (ENIs), Classic Load Balancer (CLB), Network Load Balancer (NLB), and Elastic Compute Service instances. Note For more information about endpoint types, see Add and manage endpoint groups and endpoints.	Not adjustable
Number of origin probing tasks per GA instance	5	Not applicable	You can increase quotas in Quota Center or on the Quota Management page. For more information, see Increase a quota.
Support for TCP and UDP fragmented packets	Not supported	Not supported	Not adjustable

Acceleration area limits

Resource	Standard instance default quota	Basic instance default quota	Increase request
Supported acceleration areas	China North, China South, China East, China Southwest, Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, South America, and Middle East Note Each acceleration area contains specific acceleration regions. For more information about the mappings between acceleration areas and acceleration regions, see Acceleration areas and regions for standard instances and Acceleration areas and regions for basic instances.		Not adjustable
Supported acceleration IP types	Elastic IP Address Anycast EIP Note For more information about acceleration IP types, see Acceleration IPs.	Elastic IP Address (default)	Not adjustable
Number of acceleration IPs per GA instance	The quota varies based on the instance billing method and acceleration IP type: Pay-as-you-go The acceleration IP type is EIP: 2 EIPs are allocated to each acceleration region. The acceleration IP type is Anycast EIP: GA provides two Anycast EIPs across multiple global regions. Subscription The number of EIPs is the same as the number of acceleration regions. GA provides a dedicated EIP for each acceleration region.	20	You can increase quotas in Quota Center or on the Quota Management page. For more information, see Increase a quota.
Number of idle acceleration IPs per GA instance	Not applicable	10	You can increase quotas in Quota Center or on the Quota Management page. For more information, see Increase a quota.
Minimum bandwidth per acceleration region	Acceleration IP type: EIP (2 Mbps). Anycast EIP acceleration IP type: 200 Mbps.	Acceleration IP type: EIP: 2 Mbps	Not adjustable

GA uses a distributed high-availability cluster architecture. The forwarding capacity of a single connection is limited by the single-core performance of an individual data plane node, and your configured peak bandwidth is distributed across multiple servers in the HA cluster. If your workload is dominated by high-throughput, long-lived connections, a single connection may not reach the instance's peak bandwidth. We recommend splitting your traffic into multiple concurrent connections to fully utilize the total bandwidth capacity of your GA instance.

Listener limits

Resource	Standard instance default quota	Basic instance default quota	Increase request
Number of listeners per GA instance	50	Not applicable	Contact your account manager.
Supported routing types for listeners	intelligent routing or custom routing. Note For more information about routing types, see Listener routing types.		Not adjustable
Number of listener ports per listener	Intelligent routing listeners: TCP or UDP listeners: 30 Note For more information about how the number of ports is calculated, see Ports of intelligent routing listeners. HTTP or HTTPS listeners: 1 Custom routing listeners: 65,499		Not adjustable
Supported port range for listeners	1 to 65,499		Not adjustable
Number of forwarding rules per listener	20		You can increase quotas in Quota Center or on the Quota Management page. For more information, see Increase a quota.
Number of forwarding conditions per listener	40		You can increase quotas in Quota Center or on the Quota Management page. For more information, see Increase a quota.
Number of additional certificates per HTTPS listener	25		Not adjustable

Endpoint group limits

Resource	Standard instance default quota	Basic instance default quota	Increase request
Number of endpoint groups per GA instance	The quota depends on the instance's billing method, as well as the number and protocol of its listeners: Pay-as-you-go: Two for each listener that uses TCP, UDP, HTTP, or HTTPS. Subscription: Two for each listener that uses TCP or UDP. One for each listener that uses HTTP or HTTPS.	1	You can request a quota increase for endpoint groups that are associated with TCP or UDP listeners only. You can increase quotas in Quota Center or on the Quota Management page. For more information, see Increase a quota.
Number of virtual endpoint groups per listener	10	Not applicable	You can increase quotas in Quota Center or on the Quota Management page. For more information, see Increase a quota.
Number of endpoints per endpoint group	4	200	You can increase quotas in Quota Center or on the Quota Management page. For more information, see Increase a quota.
