   This function is to set rules for automatically selecting other origin servers, effectively reducing the failure rate of returning to origin server
2. Zero-Delay

1 Automatic Origin Failover

• Entrance
Product → Configuration → Edit Configuration → Origin Protection → Automatic Origin Failover

**• Introduction
**This function is to configure the rule of automatic origin failover to effectively lower the ratio of back-to-origin failure.
When a back-to-origin request receives error responses from the current origin (such as 403, 404 and 503), the request will be automatically switch to another origin for service to lower back-to-origin failure ratio. If zero-delay is configured, the request will go back to another origin for service immediately; if not, another origin will be chosen until the next request.
Tips: If the origin cannot recognize duplicate requests, the same request may be processed repeatedlyThis policy will affect files within scope you definedenario of payment operation.

• Introduction
This function is available to take effect when Automatic Origin Failover is enabled.
If both the configuration of Automatic Origin Failover and Zero-Delay are enabled, another origin will be chosen for service immediately once errors are responded to back-to-origin requests.
Turn on automatic selection of other sources, and enable zero-hour delay, and immediately follow the automatic selection of other source configuration rules to select other source stations for service; otherwise, other source stations will be selected for service at the next request.
