Home Newsletter Network Engineering Community News: June 2026
⚡️ Network Engineering Community News - from FastNetMon We’ve given the newsletter a bit of a fresh coat of paint, but the goal is the same: keeping you in the loop on what we’re building, sharing interesting DDoS and NetSec updates, and staying connected with the community. Let us know what you think!

In this edition of Network Engineering Community News, we take you inside our lab for a sneak peek at our new VPP-based inline filtering engine, share Pavel Odintsov's latest NANOG presentation on large-scale BGP monitoring, explore real-world DDoS defence through a customer case study, dive into two in-depth technical articles, and more. Happy reading!

Lab sneak peek

Building a high-performance inline DDoS filter

FastNetMon is expanding beyond DDoS detection. In this lab sneak peek, we share early results from our in-house VPP-based inline filtering engine, which achieved near-line-rate 100G performance while processing one million filtering rules. See the lab results and learn more about the roadmap

Peek inside the lab

Guest post:  Eliminating NIC Receive Drops at 100GbE

In this guest post, Denys Haryachyy explores why DPDK-based systems can still experience NIC receive drops at 100GbE, even when CPU headroom is available. The article breaks down how interrupt handling, kernel activity, and core scheduling impact RX ring stability, and shows how IRQ affinity tuning and full core isolation can reduce rx_missed errors by several orders of magnitude under extreme load.
