How much does a real IP address affect network latency?
In Internet applications, the geographic location of the IP address directly affects the speed of data transmission. When we use an ordinary proxy, the data may go through multiple transit servers, just like a courier parcel being transferred over and over again, which not only increases the time but also loses the "original package" information. Native IP, on the other hand, directly obtains the address assigned by the local carrier.Without secondary packagingThe characteristics of the network allow for a more direct network pathway.
The native residential IPs provided by ipipgo cover more than 240 regions around the world, and each IP comes from the local home broadband network. A user has given feedback that when using US native IP to access local services, the latency is reduced from 380ms to 80ms, and this gap is especially obvious in scenarios such as video transmission and real-time interaction.
Accurate Latency Testing in Three Steps
When testing with the ipipgo proxy, the layered detection method is recommended:
| test level | Recommended Tools | Key indicators |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure connectivity | Ping command | Response success rate |
| transmission quality | MTR Tools | Routing hops/packet loss |
| practical application | curl speed test | Time consuming for complete data transfer |
Particular attention should be paid toCross-operator testingFor example, if you use the IP of Vodafone in UK to access the service of Orange network in Spain, it is recommended to check the "Intelligent Route Optimization" function in the background of ipipgo, so that the system will automatically select the best combination of nodes.
Global Measurement Data Revealed
A 72 hour test via ipipgo Dynamic Residential IP shows (sample size 5000+):
- Average latency in Southeast Asia: 60-120ms
- European and American backbone network inter-access latency: 80-150ms
- Special routing from South America to Asia: 220-300ms
These figures are more than 30% faster than regular data center IPs, especially during evening peak hours, and the latency fluctuations of native IPs are controlled within ±15ms, which is critical for scenarios requiring stable connections.
Latency Optimization Practical Tips
When high latency is found in specific areas, the ipipgo console can:
- Switching IP types: a mix of dynamic residential IPs and static IPs
- Enable protocol optimization: feature adaptation for different protocols of TCP/UDP
- Setting up alternate gateways: Establishing an intelligent switching mechanism for multiple entry points
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is there a big difference in IP latency in the same region?
A: This mainly depends on the specific access carrier and network tier. ipipgo's IP library contains multi-carrier resources, and it is recommended to filter specific carrier tags in the console for testing.
Q: How do I verify the authenticity of the IP?
A: Recommended by ipipgoTerminal Attribution Authentication ToolThis function displays the carrier registration information of the IP in the target region to avoid using the labeled "server room IP".
Q: How is a sudden delay spike handled?
A: It is recommended to enable the real-time monitoring function of ipipgo to automatically switch the standby node when the delay exceeds the preset threshold, and the switching process can usually be completed within 500ms.
