Path Network's DDoS Filtering Technology utilizes cloud-based adaptive filtering and advanced traffic analysis through open-source eXpress Data Path (XDP) technology and a patented stateful firewall. Operating across a global anycast network with 20-22 scrubbing centers and 12 Tbps total capacity, it enables geographically distributed attack absorption and mitigation. The system features adaptive rate-limiting for UDP-based Layer 4 attacks, customizable application-layer filters, and symmetric routing capabilities that maintain bidirectional traffic flow analysis. Customers can configure global firewall rules in real-time while the system automatically distinguishes legitimate traffic from malicious payloads during volumetric attacks.
