Filtiwan Network (AS213372) is a non-profit autonomous system. We maintain an independent backbone to research next-gen programmable data planes and hybrid virtualization.
A resilient multi-vendor IP Fabric (Arista, Fortigate, Huawei) integrated with Proxmox. Focusing on EVPN/VXLAN overlays and OSPF underlays.
Developing high-performance packet processing solutions using eBPF and XDP for security and encryption.
Public routing records, interconnection details, and upstream capacity for AS213372.
Primary interconnection facility.
Diverse transit provided via high-capacity IPv6-enabled peers.
Our infrastructure is designed as a live laboratory, enforcing strict isolation between management, control, and data planes.
We utilize a diverse stack of languages for core routing logic, automation, and backend management.
We operate a small isolated server room designed for self-sufficiency and redundancy.
We utilize a distributed topology leveraging OSPF as the underlay IGP to distribute loopback reachability.
Compute nodes participate directly in the routing domain. "Routing on the Host" eliminates Layer 2 complexities.
Overcoming the limitations of the standard Linux networking stack through kernel bypass.
By utilizing XDP (eXpress Data Path), we are able to provide high-performance network stacks.
This allows for high-performance Firewalling, DDoS Mitigation, and Security Enhancements by processing packets before the OS allocates memory (`sk_buff`).
Current experiments include low-level encryption offloading to reduce CPU overhead for secure proxy.
We develop proprietary Control Protocols that interface with XDP maps. This allow a better control of network flows.
We are actively porting our network code to Unikraft unikernels. By running network functions as specialized, single-address-space machine images, we eliminate general-purpose OS overhead.
We believe in open research. We are preparing to release our internal XDP hooks, control plane utilities, and automation scripts to the public.
