Default Routing vs Argo

Straight over the public Internet

  • BGP chooses by hop count and policy, not latency
  • Subject to congestion, packet loss, and peering detours
  • Latency varies by route and time of day

With Argo Smart Routing

  • Live latency telemetry spanning the whole network
  • Every request takes the quickest, least-congested path
  • Steady, tuned edge-to-origin response times
