The document discusses CloudFlare's services for mitigating DDoS attacks and the importance of peering in Asia. CloudFlare works at the network level by routing traffic through its global network of data centers where it performs functions like DNS management, caching, and security. Peering is important because it improves performance, reduces costs, and helps CloudFlare better control routing and isolate attack traffic. The document demonstrates through tests how peering with different Asian providers results in traffic taking more optimal and local paths. Peering is especially important in Asia due to the region's network architecture and ensures CloudFlare can better ingest and mitigate DDoS attacks from multiple ports and locations.
