XDP technology is a critical component of Torchbyte’s modern infrastructure, powering our ability to defend against increasingly sophisticated DDoS attacks. As one of the few hosting providers implementing this kernel-level approach, we ensure top-tier performance and security for our users. Whether you rely on our VPS hosting, dedicated servers, or colocation services, you benefit from the proactive strength of XDP filtering at the network edge.
How XDP Technology Works in Modern Networking
XDP (eXpress Data Path) is a high-performance packet filtering technology built into the Linux kernel. It enables ultra-fast packet processing by intercepting and analyzing traffic at the earliest point in the kernel’s network stack. This approach helps Torchbyte block malicious traffic before it even touches user space, drastically improving the speed and efficiency of our DDoS mitigation systems.
How Torchbyte Applies XDP for Enhanced Security
At Torchbyte, we’ve integrated XDP into our edge infrastructure. This setup allows our engineers to deploy dynamic rules that respond instantly to attack patterns. As a result, our customers experience lower latency, greater uptime, and fewer disruptions during volumetric or targeted attacks. For example, during a recent UDP flood attack, XDP helped mitigate the traffic in under 100 milliseconds.
Better Performance for Hosting and Colocation Clients
XDP is not just about defense—it’s about performance. Our VPS hosting and colocation services benefit from reduced CPU load and increased bandwidth efficiency. With less overhead on our core systems, we can guarantee faster and more stable connections to all clients, especially those hosting latency-sensitive apps such as game servers or real-time communication tools.

As we continue to scale our infrastructure at Torchbyte, implementing advanced technologies like XDP ensures we can deliver top-tier performance to our clients. Whether it’s for gaming, colocation, or cloud services, staying ahead in the networking layer helps us keep latency low and reliability high. This investment reflects our ongoing mission to push the limits of modern hosting.
