- An important differentiator is that Cloudflare utilizes one global network and runs every service on every server in every Cloudflare data center, thus providing end users the closest proximity to Cloudflare’s services, with the highest scale, resiliency, and performance.
129
129
- Cloudflare is a reverse proxy, meaning it receives requests from clients and proxies the requests back to the customer’s origin servers. Thus, every request traverses through Cloudflare’s network before reaching the customer’s network. Since Cloudflare has hardened and protected its infrastructure at the edge (ingress), all customers are consequently also protected from infrastructure-level and volumetric DDoS attacks. Requests and traffic must go through the protected Cloudflare network before reaching the customer’s origin server.
130

- The Cloudflare CDN leverages the Cloudflare global anycast network. Thus the incoming request is routed to and answered by the node closest to the user.
131

- The inherent benefits of anycast are decreased latency, network resiliency, higher availability, and increased security due to larger surface area for absorbing both legitimate traffic loads and DDoS attacks. Cloudflare’s global anycast network spans [hundreds of cities worldwide](https://www.cloudflare.com/network/), reaching 95% of the world’s Internet-connected population within 50 milliseconds while providing over 280 Tbps of network capacity and DDoS protection capability.

These load balancers operate within approximately 50ms of about 95% of the Internet-connected population, including endpoints that allow Cloudflare Load Balancers to perform both GTM and Private Network Load Balancing. Cloudflare now combines these two distinct load balancing concepts into a single load balancer. This helps enable organizations to steer traffic to geographically-relevant data centers, then select the proper endpoint to handle the request.

With millions of customers using Cloudflare, the network serves over [57 million HTTP requests](https://radar.cloudflare.com/traffic) per second on average, with more than 77 million HTTP requests per second at peak. As we analyze all this traffic, we detect and block an average of [209 billion cyber threats each day](https://radar.cloudflare.com/security-and-attacks). This network runs at this massive scale to ensure that customers using our security products experience low latency, access to high bandwidth, and a level of reliability that ensures the ongoing security of their business.
