Global Mitigation Architecture

Bespoke Defense.
Anycast Precision.

Protectra is not a reseller. We are a specialized network operator combining four Tier 1 carriers with proprietary kernel-level filtering. Designed for custom infrastructure that demands zero false positives.

The Network Blend

Four-Tier Resilience.

We don't rely on a single path. Our Anycast network aggregates connectivity from four distinct providers to ensure optimal routing and massive volumetric absorption. If one carrier experiences packet loss, BGP instantly reroutes your traffic.

Multi-TerabitGlobal Volumetric Mitigation Capacity
Clean Output

80 Gbps
Clean Traffic.

While we absorb Terabits of dirty traffic at the edge, our internal backbone guarantees 80 Gbps of scrubbed, pristine throughput to your servers.


Latency Test (Anycast)

Ping our Anycast Virtual IP to verify routing optimization from your location.

$ ping -c 4 192.100.5.1

Strategic Edge Locations

Proximity Matters.

By announcing your IP via BGP from four key geographic hubs, we minimize latency for your legitimate users while keeping attack traffic isolated to the region of origin.

The Filtering Engine

XDP & eBPF Logic.

We bypass the standard OS networking stack. Using eXpress Data Path (XDP) and eBPF, we inspect packets at the driver level.

  • Zero-copy packet inspection (Microsecond processing)
  • Granular pattern matching without CPU overhead
  • Instant drop of SYN floods and reflection attacks

Custom Infrastructure. Custom Defense.

We do not offer "cookie-cutter" plans. Every server we protect is custom-built.

Transport Layer

Layer 4 Protection

Covering TCP/UDP volumetric attacks. Included integration with our XDP filters. Tailored to your specific game or application ports.

Based on bandwidth & rule complexity
Application Layer

Layer 7 Protection

Deep packet inspection for HTTP/HTTPS/Game payloads. We analyze payload signatures to stop sophisticated botnets.
