This document describes the strengths of GWLB.
High Performance
A single GWLB cluster can handle Tbps-level traffic and support millions of QPS, easily responding to various traffic distribution scenarios.
High Availability
GWLB adopts a cluster-based deployment mode, with the availability up to 99.99%. In extreme cases where only one GWLB physical server is available, it can still sustain millions of QPS. Additionally, the cluster system will remove faulty instances in time and keep the healthy ones to ensure that the real server continues to operate properly.
High Compatibility
GWLB handles business traffic at the network layer and is independent of the device status. This design enables compatibility with a third-party virtual device, provided that the device supports GENEVE encapsulation/decapsulation and original data packets.
Low Costs
Tencent Cloud GWLB eliminates your need to invest in additional load balancing hardware and perform tedious Ops work, saving you up to 99% of hardware and labor costs.
