IDCF Cloud CDN is provided by Japan. IDC Frontier(IDC Frontier) Based onFastlyThe edge cloud platform provides content delivery network services, positioning itself as a simple, easy-to-use, and reliable global CDN solution.
FastlyIDCF is a leading platform in the global content delivery sector, with its infrastructure adopted by numerous major technology companies. IDCF has integrated with this infrastructure through a localized console and customized user experience tailored for Japanese users.
IDCF Cloud CDN Node coverage includes multiple Points of Presence (PoPs) within Japan and other major global nodes, enabling acceleration for common services such as static content delivery, API responses, and media distribution.
Compared to some local CDN providers, its advantage lies in leveraging Fastly's mature technology stack while lowering the operational threshold through features like an intuitive console, log stream integration, and cache management.
In terms of technology selection, IDCF Cloud CDN is commonly used for accelerating enterprise-level websites, media platforms, and mobile applications, and it performs exceptionally well in the Japanese and East Asian markets.
It supports advanced features such as HTTP/HTTPS, HTTP/2, IPv6, and customizable VCL caching logic, while also incorporating critical operational capabilities like real-time log processing and rapid cache purging.
I. Why Choose IDCF Cloud CDN for Evaluation
The reasons for selecting IDCF Cloud CDN for this evaluation include:
- Built upon Fastly's global edge network as its foundation, it leverages industry-proven technology.
- There is a practical need for node deployment to accelerate in Japan and global regions.
- Supports real-time log output and cache control, facilitating in-depth analysis of CDN behavior and performance.
II. IDCF Cloud CDN Test Environment and Actual Access
| Testing Party | Business Type | Origin server location | Access Method | Testing Cycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Internal Engineering Team | Static resources + API | Japan (Tokyo VPS) | CNAME Integration | 10 days |
To ensure data reliability, this evaluation connected the service to IDCF Cloud CDN via real domains. Caching policies, HTTPS certificates, and log stream outputs were configured in the console to conduct access and load testing across multiple global locations.
III. IDCF Cloud CDN Packages and Billing Methods
| Project | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Billing Model | Billed based on traffic + number of requests, with options for fixed-rate monthly plans or pay-as-you-go pricing. |
| Data transmission fees | Asia/Japan/North America/Europe: 9 yen/GB (up to 100TB), 6 yen/GB (over 100TB); Other regions: 15 yen/GB (up to 100TB), 13 yen/GB (over 100TB) |
| Request Fee | Asia/Major Regions: ¥1.5 per 10,000 requests; Other Regions: ¥2.5 per 10,000 requests |
| Certificates and Options | Supports both self-provided certificates and shared certificate options. Certificate fees are charged separately. |
IV. IDCF Cloud CDN Acceleration Testing Methodology
Use the curl tool to execute access requests to detect DNS resolution, Time to First Byte (TTFB), overall latency, and HTTP response status:
curl -o /dev/null -s -w " DNS: %{time_namelookup}s TTFB: %{time_starttransfer}s
Total: %{time_total}s HTTP Code: %{http_code} \n" https://cdn-idcf.example.com/sample.jpg
V. IDCF Cloud CDN Acceleration Test Results
| Region | Time to First Byte | Total | HTTP Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| Japan | 75 milliseconds | 180 milliseconds | 200 |
| East Asia | 120 milliseconds | 230 milliseconds | 200 |
| North America | 190 milliseconds | 350 milliseconds | 200 |
During local access in Japan, IDCF Cloud CDN demonstrated low latency and overall rapid response times. Access from East Asia and North America exhibited reasonable global acceleration effects, with the overall acceleration advantage significantly outperforming direct access to the origin server.
VI. DDoS Attack Stress Testing Solution
| Project | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Attack Type | HTTP Flood |
| Request Size | Tens of thousands of TPS level |
| Duration | 15 minutes |
| Key Performance Indicators | Return code changes, origin server load, availability |
VII. DDoS Stress Test Results
| stage | HTTP 200 | 403/429 | Origin server load | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before the attack | Normal | 无 | 低 | 100% |
| Under attack | decline | Significantly increased | slightly higher | 85~95% |
| After the attack | Restore | Reduce | Restore | 100% |
VIII. HTTP Header / Cache Validation
curl -I https://cdn-idcf.example.com/sample.jpg
HTTP/2 200 server: Fastly x-cache: HIT via: 1.1 global-edge
The header displays cache hit indicators and edge paths from underlying Fastly nodes, confirming that the request was indeed processed through the CDN caching layer.
IX. IDCF Cloud CDN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Does it support custom certificates? Yes, it supports both self-provided certificates and shared certificate options.
- Is there a minimum usage period requirement? There is no fixed minimum consumption; you only pay for what you use.
- Is it suitable for dynamic content acceleration? Supports edge logic customization, such as VCL, to optimize dynamic caching strategies. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
- Is there a trial or free quota available? Typically, you need to register an account to activate the service. Please confirm the specific policy with the official source.
X. Personal View
From an engineer's perspective, the greatest advantage of IDCF Cloud CDN lies in its performance and flexibility, powered by Fastly's robust edge network. Simultaneously, its localized integration by IDCF enhances the user experience for both Japanese and global users.
For medium to large-scale business scenarios requiring globally stable acceleration, real-time log analysis, and advanced caching control, this solution offers exceptional practical value. For extreme security guarantees against massive DDoS attacks, we recommend combining it with dedicated shields or enhanced protection strategies.
