Partners & Integrations

Optimized Connectivity for Eastern Europe

Our network infrastructure is designed specifically to minimize latency for players in Eastern European countries. Through strategic peering arrangements and direct connections with major regional Internet Service Providers (ISPs), we've created a network topology that prioritizes gaming traffic and ensures the shortest possible path between players and game servers.

Internet Exchange Presence

VargaNet maintains presence at key Internet Exchanges (IXs) throughout Eastern Europe, including:

• RIXPX (Riga, Latvia) - Our home exchange with direct peering to all major Latvian ISPs
• MSK-IX (Moscow, Russia) - Providing optimized connectivity to Russian players
• PLIX (Warsaw, Poland) - Serving the Polish gaming community with low-latency routes
• NIX.CZ (Prague, Czech Republic) - Enhancing connectivity to Central European players
• DTEL-IX (Kiev, Ukraine) - Ensuring optimal routing for Ukrainian gamers

Tier-1 Provider Relationships

Beyond regional exchanges, we maintain transit relationships with global Tier-1 providers to ensure excellent connectivity worldwide. These partnerships create redundant paths and guarantee that traffic always finds the optimal route regardless of network conditions.

Latency Optimization Benefits

Our network partnerships deliver concrete advantages for multiplayer gaming:

• Average ping times under 30ms for most Eastern European locations
• Reduced packet loss through optimized routing
• Smoother gameplay experience with fewer lag spikes
• Consistent performance even during peak hours
• Route diversity for improved reliability

Comprehensive Protection Architecture

Gaming servers are prime targets for Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. To protect our customers, we've developed a multi-layered mitigation architecture that combines our own proprietary systems with best-in-class security technologies. This integrated approach enables us to provide up to 2 Tbps of DDoS mitigation capacity as a standard feature of all our gaming servers.

Multi-Layer Defense System

Our DDoS protection operates at multiple layers:

• Network Layer (L3/L4): Filtering of volumetric attacks at the edge before they reach our core network
• Protocol Layer: Detection and mitigation of protocol-specific attacks targeting gaming server vulnerabilities
• Application Layer (L7): Intelligent filtering of malicious traffic attempting to exhaust application resources
• Behavioral Analysis: Real-time traffic pattern monitoring to identify and counteract emerging threats

Distributed Scrubbing Architecture

Our DDoS mitigation infrastructure is distributed across multiple scrubbing centers strategically located throughout Europe. This distributed architecture allows us to:

• Handle massive attack volumes up to 2 Tbps
• Minimize the latency impact of traffic scrubbing
• Maintain protection even if a single center is overwhelmed
• Scale mitigation capacity dynamically as needed

Automated Mitigation Workflow

Our integrated protection system operates automatically to defend against attacks:

1. Real-time traffic analysis identifies potential attack patterns
2. Traffic is diverted to our scrubbing centers
3. Malicious packets are filtered while legitimate traffic is preserved
4. Clean traffic is forwarded to the gaming server
5. The entire process occurs with minimal latency impact

This sophisticated protection system is fully integrated with our network infrastructure and operates transparently to both server owners and players.

Seamless Server Management

We've developed extensive integrations with leading game server management tools to create a unified, intuitive control panel for our customers. These integrations streamline server deployment, configuration, and maintenance, allowing gaming communities to focus on gameplay rather than technical administration.

Game Server Management Platforms

Our control panel integrates with specialized management tools for different game types:

• Minecraft: Integration with Multicraft and SpigotMC for plugin management and server control
• CS:GO: Support for SourceMod and MetaMod administration tools
• Rust: Integration with uMod/Oxide for plugin ecosystem and RCON management

Automated Deployment Pipeline

Our instant provisioning system leverages integrations with:

• Infrastructure automation tools for rapid server deployment
• Configuration management systems for consistent server setup
• Template repositories for game-specific optimizations
• Monitoring platforms for real-time performance tracking

API & Webhook Support

For advanced users and communities, we offer extensive API access:

• RESTful API endpoints for programmatic server management
• Webhook support for event-driven automation
• Discord integration for server status notifications and moderation
• Custom integration capabilities for specific community needs

These technical integrations form the backbone of our user-friendly control panel, allowing both beginners and experienced server administrators to manage their gaming infrastructure efficiently.

Accelerating Static Resources

While game servers primarily rely on direct connections for gameplay, many modern games and communities also utilize web-based resources like maps, skins, mods, and community portals. To enhance the delivery of these static assets, we've integrated with Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and edge computing platforms.

Static Asset Acceleration

Our CDN integrations provide:

• Global distribution of game assets, mods, and custom content
• Reduced loading times for web-based game resources
• Protection against traffic spikes during major updates or events
• Bandwidth savings for both server owners and players

Edge Computing Benefits

For gaming communities that utilize web applications alongside their game servers, our edge computing integrations offer:

• Reduced latency for dynamic web content
• Regional processing of web requests closer to users
• Additional layer of protection against web-based attacks
• Improved performance for community portals and leaderboards

These optimizations complement our core gaming infrastructure, creating a comprehensive ecosystem for multiplayer gaming communities.

VargaNet Gaming is always open to exploring new strategic partnerships that can enhance our gaming infrastructure offerings.
