The increasing network speeds of today's Internet require high-performance, high-throughput network devices. However, the lack of affordable, flexible, and readily available devices poses a challenge for packet classification and filtering. This problem is exacerbated by the increase in volumetric Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, which require efficient packet processing and filtering. To meet the demands of high-speed networks and configurable network processing devices, this paper investigates a hybrid hardware/software packet filter prototype that combines reconfigurable FPGA technology and high-speed software filtering on commodity hardware. It uses a novel approach that offloads filtering rules to the hardware and employs a Longest Prefix Matching (LPM) algorithm and allowlists/blocklists based on millions of IP prefixes. The hybrid filter demonstrates improvements over software-only filtering, achieving performance gains of nearly 30%, depending on the rulesets, offloading methods, and traffic types. The significance of this research lies in developing a cost-effective alternative to more-expensive or less-effective filters, providing high-speed DDoS packet filtering for IPv4 traffic, as it still dominates over IPv6. Deploying these filters on commodity hardware at the edge of the network can mitigate the impact of DDoS attacks on protected networks, enhancing the security of all devices on the network, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices. |
