You can use the instant detection feature of Cloud Monitor (CMS) to test the acceleration performance of Global Accelerator (GA). You can initiate instant detection for multiple common protocols, including HTTP, PING, and DNS, at the detection points of carrier networks in different regions. This way, you can check whether the detected targets can access the network environment in different regions.
IP access acceleration test
If you create a GA instance to accelerate connections to backend servers that have specific IP addresses, you can initiate instant detection for the accelerated IP address and the IP address of the backend servers to compare access speed before and after traffic is accelerated by GA. In this example, an HTTP detection is initiated.
Click One-time Dial Test Tool to go to the Network Dial Test Tool page.
Click Comparative Detection below the Detect Now button.
Perform the following steps to configure the parameters:
No.
Description
1
Select Internet service providers (ISPs) and regions from the drop-down list.
In this example, all is selected.
2
Enter the IP address of the backend server.
3
Enter the accelerated IP address.
4
Click Detect Now.
5
In the Probe Check Result section, click
to the right of the Detection Point City column header, enter the name of the accelerated region, and then click Confirm. View the detection results.
NoteThe acceleration performance of GA varies based on the actual workloads.
Domain name access acceleration test
If you create a GA instance to accelerate connections to backend servers that have specific domain names, you can initiate instant detection for the domain names to compare access speed before and after traffic is accelerated by GA. In this example, an HTTP detection is initiated.
Click One-time Dial Test Tool to go to the Network Dial Test Tool page.
Enter the domain name of the backend server that you want to detect and click Detect Now.
By default, an HTTP detection is performed. If you want to perform an HTTPS detection, enter a complete URL, such as
https://example.com.In the Detection Result section, click
to the right of the Detection Point City column, enter the name of the accelerated region, and then click OK. View the detection results.
NoteThe acceleration performance of GA varies based on the actual workloads.
