Summary
Argo for Spectrum is now generally available, offering improved performance and connectivity for TCP-based applications such as Minecraft, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), and SFTP. This service extends Cloudflare's DDoS protection to any TCP or UDP protocol, addressing latency, packet loss, and other factors that impact network performance. Argo for Spectrum uses the same intelligence and routing plane as Argo Smart Routing but applies it to any TCP-based application. Throughput improvements of up to 108% have been observed in benchmark tests conducted by Catchpoint.
