Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: CloudFlare's 45th data center

What this post added

This post announces the deployment of Cloudflare's 45th global point of presence (PoP) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It highlights the technical challenge of 'boomerang' traffic in certain Asian ISPs, where requests traverse outside national borders due to a lack of domestic interconnection. The deployment in Kuala Lumpur, facilitated by joining the MyIX neutral Internet Exchange Point, directly addresses this issue by enabling local interconnection of ISPs, leading to improved load times and application performance for users in Malaysia.
