How Netflix uses eBPF flow logs at scale for network insight

Netflix Tech

By Alok Tiagi , Hariharan Ananthakrishnan , Ivan Porto Carrero and Keerti Lakshminarayan Netflix has developed a network observability sidecar called Flow Exporter that uses eBPF tracepoints to capture TCP flows at near real time. Without having network visibility, it’s difficult to improve our reliability, security and capacity posture.

A remote attacker could exploit this across a network by dispatching a specially crafted print task to Windows LPD Service, if successful it would result in RCE on the server. An attacker could remotely exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted IPv6 packets to a host. The flaw was assigned a CVSSv3 score of 9.8

When it comes to analyzing network traffic for tasks like peering, capacity planning, and DDoS attack detection, there are multiple auxiliary sources that can be utilized to supplement flow information. IPv6 peerings are starting to outgrow a single node. It also allowed mirroring the setup for our IPv6 fabric. Scaling phases.

How flow protocols adapt as network needs evolve. Network flow records today are an integral part of the network operations landscape. What about capturing MAC address, or VLAN tag, or IPv6? IPv6, MAC addresses, VLAN, and MPLS) makes it more limited than other alternatives.

Also, to cut down on CPU and network bandwidth, flows are usually only “exported” on average every 10 seconds to a few minutes. sFlow, on the other hand, is based on interface counters and flow samples created by the network management software of each router or switch. This can result in very bursty traffic on sub-minute time scales.
