I. The UDP protocol: a double-edged sword in the digital age
1.1 UDP协议的行业应用全景
According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) 2023 release of theGlobal real-time communications technology reportThe proportion of global UDP protocol traffic has reached 42% of total network traffic, of which three core areas constitute the main body of traffic:
- Real-time audio and video transmission: Zoom, China Tencent Conference and other platforms generate 2.1EB of UDP data per day
- IoT device communications: Industrial sensors, smart homes initiate 30 million UDP heartbeat packets per second
- Blockchain network synchronisation: Ethernet 2.0's Beacon Chain Uses UDP for Fast Node Discovery
1.2 UDP攻击的致命威胁
Cloudflare's latest threat report shows, 2023 Q3 global UDP Flood attacks accounted for 37% of total DDoS attacks, showing three main characteristics:

- reflex amplification effect: Exploit vulnerabilities in NTP, DNS and other protocols to amplify attacks by up to 556 times
- Precision Business Strike: Attacks against game servers (UDP ports 3074/3478) grow 210%
- Mixed Attack Mode: 78% UDP Attacks Accompanied by TCP SYN Flood and HTTP Slow Attacks
Second, the advantages of Hong Kong servers
2.1 网络基础设施的硬核实力
- submarine optical fibre hub: 14 international submarine cable interchanges (APG, AAE-1, etc.) with a total bandwidth of 148 Tbps
- Delay optimisation matrix(Data source:Ping test platform):
target area Average delay Jitter control Mainland China 28ms <3ms Singaporean 35ms <5ms USA West 152ms <18ms
2.2 香港《网络安全法》
Hong Kong Cybersecurity Act 2023 as amendedIt is expressly provided that IDC service providers are exempt from some of their compliance obligations when they meet the following conditions:
- No storage of sensitive local user data
- Deployment of ISO 27001 certified security system
- Access to the Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) monitoring system
