Legacy Firewalls vs CoreTech
Why outdated ASIC and standard OS-based mitigations fail against modern polymorphic attacks.
| Capability | Legacy Appliances | CoreTech Platform Winner |
|---|---|---|
| Packet Processing Speed | Limited by OS Network Stack | eBPF/XDP (NIC Level) |
| Detection Logic | Static PPS/BPS Thresholds | Layer 7 Neural Rhythm AI |
| Rule Propagation Time | 2 - 5 Minutes | Sub-second Sync |
| Stateful Protection Scope | Localized (Per Appliance) | Global Consensus Across PoPs |
| False Positive Rate | High (Legit Traffic Dropped) | Near Zero |
CoreEdge™ — Complete DDoS Mitigation
Absolute Protection Against Infrastructure Attacks
CoreEdge serves as your impenetrable outer shield. When a massive DDoS attack hits, it acts as the execution arm that neutralizes malicious traffic before it ever touches your actual servers, protecting your infrastructure against crippling exhaustive attacks.
- Massive Flood Drops: Instantly absorbs terabits of garbage data common in UDP Amplification, DNS reflection, and NTP amplification attacks.
- Protocol Scrubbing: Halts resource-exhaustion tactics like SYN floods, Smurf attacks, and Ping of Death aiming to crash your servers.
- Zero-Latency Mitigation: Filters out bad packets so quickly that your legitimate users experience absolutely no lag or downtime.
- Hardware-accelerated processing ensures mitigation occurs at wire-speed without adding latency.
- Distributed synchronization ensures threats stopped in one region are instantly blocked globally.
CoreDetection™ — Application (L7) Shield
Intelligent Botnet & HTTP Flood Protection
CoreDetection is the intelligence that constantly monitors your traffic. It specializes in identifying Application Layer (L7) attacks, stealthy HTTP floods, and evolving botnets, making sure ONLY clean, legitimate users reach your services.
- HTTP/HTTPS Flood Mitigation: Detects and stops coordinated GET/POST floods intended to overwhelm your web servers.
- Slow-Rate Attack Mitigation: Neutralizes stealth attacks like Slowloris that attempt to tie up server connections over long periods.
- Smart Botnet Recognition: Identifies malicious bot traffic mimicking human behavior, blocking them before they overwhelm your login or checkout pages.
- No False Positives: Accurately distinguishes between a real attack and legitimate traffic spikes, ensuring you never block real customers.
- Automatically translates attack patterns into actionable CoreEdge rules without human intervention.
XDP — eXpress Data Path
Ultra-Fast Packet Processing at NIC Level
XDP (eXpress Data Path) is a high-performance, programmable network data path in the Linux kernel that enables packet processing at the earliest possible point — before the kernel network stack is even involved. This dramatically reduces latency and increases throughput for DDoS filtering.
- Processes packets directly at the Network Interface Card (NIC) driver level
- Bypasses the entire Linux kernel network stack for matched packets
- Enables line-rate packet processing on standard commodity hardware
- Paired with Mellanox ConnectX-6 SmartNICs for hardware-accelerated offloading
- Achieves millions of packets per second filtering on a single core
- Zero packet loss during high-volume DDoS attack mitigation
eBPF — Extended Berkeley Packet Filter
Custom Kernel-Level Packet Logic
eBPF allows developers to run sandboxed programs in the Linux kernel without requiring kernel source code changes or loading kernel modules. CoreTech leverages eBPF to implement custom, application-specific DDoS detection and filtering logic that generic solutions cannot provide.
- Custom packet processing programs run safely in kernel space
- Application-specific filters for gaming, streaming, VoIP, and more
- Real-time packet inspection with nanosecond decision making
- Dynamic rule updates without any service interruption or restart
- Programmable response to evolving attack signatures
- Cannot be replicated by legacy ASIC-based filtering systems
Mellanox ConnectX-6 SmartNICs
Hardware-Accelerated DDoS Filtering
CoreTech deploys Mellanox (NVIDIA) ConnectX-6 SmartNICs at every network node. These intelligent NICs offload XDP packet processing directly to the card's onboard FPGA-like programmable logic, freeing host CPU resources and enabling packet processing at true wire speed.
- 100 Gbps per port with hardware DDoS offloading capability
- XDP program execution on NIC hardware without CPU involvement
- Packet classification and filtering at full line rate
- RDMA support for ultra-low latency traffic management
- Hardware timestamps for precise traffic analysis and reporting
- Deployed globally across our network infrastructure
