# Global Accelerator

* AWS Global Accelerator is a networking service that **sends your user’s traffic through AWS’s global network infrastructure**, **improving your internet user performance by up to 60%**.<br>

* When the internet is congested, Global Accelerator’s automatic routing optimizations will help **keep your packet loss, jitter, and latency consistently low**.

* With Global Accelerator, you are **provided two global anycast static customer facing IPs to simplify traffic management**.<br>

* On the back end, add or remove your AWS application origins, such as **Network Load Balancers, Application Load Balancers, Elastic IPs, and EC2 Instances**, without making user facing changes.<br>

* To mitigate endpoint failure, **Global Accelerator automatically re-routes your traffic to your nearest healthy available endpoint**.
