How Cloudflare Handles 20% of Global Internet Traffic: Anycast, XDP & eBPF Under the Hood

Every day, one in every five HTTP requests on Earth passes through Cloudflare's network. But how does a single infrastructure withstand 70+ million HTTP requests per second, mitigate multi-terabit DDoS attacks in real time, and route traffic across 330+ cities with sub-millisecond edge latency? In this architectural deep dive, we explore BGP Anycast routing, kernel-bypass packet filtering with XDP/eBPF, Unimog Layer-4 load balancing, and Pingora — Cloudflare's Rust-powered proxy that replaced NGINX.
