Hey everyone,
I apologize if this is the incorrect place to address this. I couldn't
find any mailing list for Bpfilter specifically. If there is a better
place to address this, suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!
I was wondering if Bpfilter is still under development or if the project
development is at a halt. I am planning out my next major project that
will be responsible for forwarding traffic and blocking (D)DoS attacks
based off of filtering rules. As of right now, I'm trying to decide
whether to use Bpfilter or XDP-native for blocking malicious traffic.
With the project's current layout, I feel it would be easier using
something like Bpfilter for this. However, I'm not sure when this will
be completely developed to the point it'd be usable with my application.
If this project is under development, is there any ETA on when it will
be officially supported and in a usable state for most applications
(specifically for dropping malicious traffic)?
One last question I had is if there were any estimates on how fast
Bpfilter would be compared to XDP-native when dropping malicious
packets. I'd assume they would see similar performance, but I'm not
entirely sure.
Any help is highly appreciated and thank you for your time!
