Technical Overview
Engineering breakdown of Benchmarking 1.2Tbps Volumetric DDoS Scrubbing (1976). Bare-metal hardware performance requires isolated kernel parameters, tuned NIC queues, and zero-copy packet processing pipelines. This article walks through the test methodology, hardware selection, and results analysis.
Testbed Configuration
- Server: 2× AMD EPYC 9654, 256 GB DDR5‑4800
- NIC: 2× Mellanox ConnectX‑7 200 GbE (PCIe 5.0)
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, kernel 6.8 with BPF‑XDP
- Scrubbing Engine: Custom DPDK‑based pipeline with eBPF fallback
Traffic Generation
We used a distributed IXIA‑style generator cluster capable of 1.5 Tbps aggregate, launching UDP‑flood, SYN‑flood, and DNS‑amplification vectors simultaneously.
