DNS Solutions for Telecom

The solution empowers operators to build high-quality networks, balancing user experience upgrades with sustainable growth.

Industry Requirements

Key trends like 5G, IoT, and ultra-HD video are driving the need for more stable, secure, and intelligent carrier networks. The DNS system, acting as the primary entry point for internet traffic, is foundational to ensuring a high-quality user experience and maintaining uninterrupted business operations for operators.Telecom operators currently face these key challenges:

  • Massive DNS Traffic Volume

    Billions of user devices generate a massive volume of DNS queries, overwhelming traditional systems and causing delays, especially during peak hours, which degrades the online experience.

  • Inefficient Network Routing

    When users connect across different provider networks and regions, DNS often fails to find the best path. This leads to high costs for the operator and wastes internet backbone capacity.

  • Growing Security Threats

    Attacks like DDoS, DNS hijacking, and cache poisoning are common. Older security methods can't stop these large-scale, complex attacks, putting the operator's core services at risk.

  • Rising Management Complexity

    With DNS equipment spread out everywhere, it's hard to manage configurations consistently. This inefficiency makes it difficult to keep up with the fast pace of new service deployment.

  • Balancing Compliance and Cost

    Operators must meet strict rules on data and privacy while also cutting down on energy use and ongoing costs to ensure their business can grow sustainably.

Solution Brief

Tailored for the telecommunications industry, this solution is built on the core principles of "High Performance, High Security, and High Intelligence," establishing a comprehensive DNS service system to help operators achieve the following objectives:

  • Optimized User Experience

    Leveraging intelligent resolution and cache optimization technologies to reduce access latency and improve web page loading speeds, thereby supporting the growth of latency-sensitive services like HD video streaming and online gaming.

  • Precise Cross-Network Traffic Steering

    Dynamically adjusts resolution policies based on user geography and carrier link status to minimize cross-network traffic, reducing interconnection settlement costs.

  • Proactive Security Defense

    Implements a multi-layered protection system to defend against threats such as DDoS attacks and domain hijacking, ensuring DNS service high availability and user data security.

  • Intelligent O&M Management

    Utilizes a centralized management platform for unified configuration and real-time monitoring of distributed nodes, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing labor costs.

Use Cases

  • Scenario 1: 5G + Ultra HD Video Acceleration

    To meet the high-bandwidth demands of 5G users, intelligent DNS resolution dynamically directs user requests to edge CDN nodes, reducing backbone network congestion. With regional caching and adaptive cache update technologies, the solution minimizes video startup delays and improves cache hit rates, delivering smoother streaming experiences.

  • Scenario 2: Cross-Carrier Traffic Optimization

    When users access resources across different networks, real-time link quality and load conditions are analyzed to prioritize resolution within the same carrier network, minimizing cross-network hops. Multi-exit intelligent scheduling further reduces interconnect traffic, helping operators lower annual settlement costs.

  • Scenario 3: Large-Scale DDoS Protection

    To defend against sudden large-scale DDoS attacks, a multi-layered protection framework—including link-level rate limiting and advanced emergency modes—ensures continuous service availability. The kernel-level security engine mitigates malicious high-concurrency traffic, achieving service availability of up to 99.999%.

  • Scenario 4: Efficient IoT Device Management

    For massive IoT device access, DNS and DHCP integration enables precise device identification and policy enforcement. A centralized management platform automates IP address allocation and secure access control, significantly improving operational efficiency and network visibility.

Key Benefits

  • 01
    Service Continuity Assurance

    A distributed Anycast architecture and cache-recursion separation design ensure seamless failover in the event of single-node failures, enhancing system availability and meeting carrier-grade SLA requirements.

  • 02
    Enhanced User Experience

    Intelligent resolution strategies optimize user access paths, reducing average response times to the millisecond level. Faster page loading improves overall user satisfaction and drives higher NPS (Net Promoter Score) for operators.

  • 03
    Security and Compliance Excellence

    By integrating DNSSEC validation and threat intelligence collaboration, the solution blocks over 99% of malicious traffic while ensuring full compliance with the Cybersecurity Law and related regulatory standards.

  • 04
    Reduced O&M Costs

    A centralized visual management platform enables one-click policy deployment and fault localization, reducing operational manpower and energy consumption to support green and low-carbon operations.

  • 05
    Future-Ready Architecture

    A scalable and flexible design supports smooth IPv6 migration and edge computing integration, providing a forward-looking foundation for emerging 5G-A and 6G service scenarios.
