How BGP Flowspec Is Stopping DDoS Attacks

In this episode of Networking Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down BGP Flowspec, a technology that's quietly changing how network operators defend against DDoS attacks. They explain how Flowspec works, why it's more precise than traditional RTBH, and how it's being deployed at scale by ISPs and large enterprises. With a concrete example from a Tier 1 provider handling a multi-terabit attack, the hosts walk through the setup, the limitations, and the future of this protocol. If you've ever wondered how the internet survives massive floods of traffic, this episode gives you a clear, practical look at one of the essential tools in a network engineer's arsenal. #BGPFlowspec #DDoSProtection #NetworkSecurity #InternetInfrastructure #RoutingProtocols #NetworkEngineering #ISP #Tier1 #TrafficFiltering #RTBH #NetworkResilience #CyberDefense #Technology #Networking #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Infosec #DDoS Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
