Episode 80 of The Linux Podcast dives into how eBPF is revolutionizing network performance beyond just replacing kernel modules. Lucas and Luna explore a specific case: Cloudflare using eBPF to handle DDoS mitigation at line rate, processing millions of packets per second without touching userspace. They break down the BPF virtual machine, its verifier safety guarantees, and why companies like Netflix and Meta are now running eBPF in production to shave microseconds off latency. The episode also touches on the emerging bpfilter project as a potential iptables replacement. If you've heard eBPF buzz but never understood the concrete wins, this episode gives you the numbers and the architecture. #eBPF #BPF #Cloudflare #Netflix #Meta #LinuxKernel #NetworkPerformance #DDOS #bpfilter #iptables #VirtualMachine #Verifier #Latency #Technology #LinuxPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #OpenSource Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
