Transparent Security Outperforms Traditional DDoS Solution in Lab Trial

CableLabs

Validate that INT-encapsulated packets can be transported across an IPv4/IPv6/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network without any adverse impact to network performance. The tests validated that INT-encapsulated packets can be transported across an IPv4/IPv6/MPLS network without any adverse impact.

An attacker could remotely exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted IPv6 packets to a host. Microsoft’s mitigation suggestions suggest disabling IPv6 as only IPv6 packets can be abused to exploit this vulnerability. It received a CVSSv3 score of 9.8 and is rated as “Exploitation More Likely.”

How Netflix uses eBPF flow logs at scale for network insight

Netflix Tech

The sidecar has been implemented by leveraging the highly performant eBPF along with carefully chosen transport protocols to consume less than 1% of CPU and memory on any instance in our fleet. The choice of transport protocols like GRPC, HTTPS & UDP is runtime dependent on characteristics of the instance placement.

Moreover, each BGP session can be used as the transport to push mitigations , such as RTBH and Flowspec, triggered by alerting from the platform. IPv6 peerings are starting to outgrow a single node. It also allowed mirroring the setup for our IPv6 fabric. 10 active nodes with full-tuple hashing, support for balancing IPv6.

What about capturing MAC address, or VLAN tag, or IPv6? IPv6, MAC addresses, VLAN, and MPLS) makes it more limited than other alternatives. And it fits in UDP packets, which makes it easy to transport. More of a good thing. Later, users began wanting to add MPLS and other data that routers and switches could observe.

You could take the well-known data types like IPv4 and IPv6 and build a fast path for them. With templates out-of-band, the protocol would also be ‘re-sample-able’ in transport. This approach would take a little bit less communication and require a lot less work to match templates to data packets.
