Cross-border Network Acceleration Solutions for China

For many international businesses with a presence in China, network stability issues are often the biggest concern when their users or employees in China try to access services based in other countries and regions.

Their users and employees outside China are satisfied with the access to the services, but the users in China don’t get consistent and/or good performance. For users in China, access is usually slow and unstable, discouraging employees and users from working properly.

This is quite common with SaaS applications like O365, Salesforce, and Zoom.

The Great Firewall (GFW)

Public internet connectivity in mainland China is strictly regulated by the government, with sweeping laws banning various types of content and sites and ongoing traffic filtering. Policies are enforced by the Great Firewall (GFW).

Public internet bandwidth to and from China is limited and restricted. Sometimes is very good and sometimes very bad depending on multiple factors such as time and demand. For example, during peak hours the networks are overwhelmed, restricting the bandwidth and affecting directly the user experience. In fact, the problem is that you cannot predict the bandwidth that is going to be available, it is actually unpredictable.

In addition to the bandwidth, the Chinese Firewall is also causing a high packet loss rate, high latency, and in general poor performance as randomly some requests are filtered or even censored.

GFW controls and filters access based on the following variables:

Note that the GFW only applies to mainland China. Although Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau are part of China, they are currently largely exempt from these regulations being outside the control of the GFW.

GFW policies can change without notice, and, at any given moment, certain traffic can either be blocked entirely or discouraged by throttling bandwidth.

We have observed that major events like elections, holidays, and political events within China cause erratic behavior concerning performance and consistency of application reliability before, during, and after such events.

Observations Regarding Traffic from China to International Destinations

While providing services in China, we have observed several behaviors of traffic originating in mainland China toward international destinations, especially during business hours:
