The Ties that un-Bind: Decoupling IP from web services and sockets for robust addressing agility at CDN-scale

Hello new and old subscribers,

This week's paper is The Ties that un-Bind: Decoupling IP from web services and sockets for robust addressing agility at CDN-scale. It discusses how Cloudflare changed its CDN architecture to dramatically reduce IP address use using neat tools like BPF. The approach also had a large security and performance impact!

The paper review is best enjoyed on the blog.

Until next time,

Micah
