ERPC Solana Dedicated Direct Shreds (ShredStream) Now Supports UDP Forwarding for Even Faster Performance
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO are pleased to announce the addition of the much-requested "UDP Forwarding" feature to their industry-leading dedicated Solana data stream service, Direct Shreds (ShredStream).
Further Accelerating Direct Shreds (ShredStream)
Until now, ERPC's Direct Shreds service delivered Solana blockchain data using gRPC (HTTP/2, TCP-based). With the introduction of UDP Forwarding, ERPC can now offer significantly lower latency by trading off some degree of connection stability, pushing data transmission speeds to new heights.
Comparing TCP and UDP
Customers can choose the ideal communication method based on their specific use cases and requirements:
-
TCP (traditional method, gRPC):
- High stability with automatic packet loss and error correction
- Slightly higher latency due to connection establishment and error handling
-
UDP (new method):
- Connectionless, allowing lower latency and faster data transmission than TCP
- No built-in packet loss or error correction, resulting in slightly lower stability compared to TCP, but significantly reduced latency
UDP Forwarding is particularly beneficial for high-frequency traders and applications where real-time data delivery is critical and speed is paramount.
Boost Your Performance with UDP Forwarding
The new UDP Forwarding feature serves as a powerful performance booster for Solana validator and RPC nodes managed by customers. By drastically improving synchronization with the latest block data, users can gain a strategic advantage in the highly competitive Solana environment.
Moreover, UDP boosting is enabled by default across all ERPC Solana endpoints using ShredStream.
Ordering and Setup
Customers interested in utilizing UDP Forwarding can easily inquire and request setup through the Validators DAO official Discord ticket system.
Continued Evolution of ERPC
ERPC remains committed to providing the fastest and most optimized Solana infrastructure environment through proactive research and development. Ongoing updates and enhancements will ensure continued superior performance.
Thank you for your continued support and trust in ERPC.
