Sometimes, when datacenter computing does a paradigm shift, things get cheaper, like the move to RISC/Unix systems in the 1990s, and then to X86 systems in the 2000s. …

On August 13, security researchers at Tel Aviv University disclosed a new HTTP/2 denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability that they are calling MadeYouReset (CVE-2025-8671). This vulnerability exists in a limited number of unpatched HTTP/2 server implementations that do not sufficiently enforce restrictions on the number of times a client may send malformed frames. If you’re using Cloudflare for HTTP DDoS mitigation, you’re already protected from MadeYouReset.
Cloudflare was informed of this vulnerability in May through a coordinated disclosure process, and we were able to confirm that our systems were not susceptible, due in large part to the mitigations we put in place during Rapid Reset (CVE-2023-44487). MadeYouReset and Rapid Reset are two conceptually similar HTTP/2 protocol attacks that exploit a fundamental feature within the HTTP/2 specification: stream resets. In the HTTP/2 protocol, a "stream" represents an independent series of HTTP request/response pairs exchanged between the client and server within an HTTP/2 connection. The stream reset feature is intended to allow a client to initiate an HTTP request and subsequently cancel it before the server has delivered its response.
The vulnerability exploited by both MadeYouReset and Rapid Reset lies in the potential for malicious actors to abuse this Continue reading
Have you ever had to defend your choice of internet service provider? All you can say is: “Everyone says they’re reliable”, “My buddy recommended them.”, “They are the incumbent player”. But when pressed about frequent connectivity issues, then what? Sound familiar? This plays out in businesses across the world every day. We make one of […]
The post Transform ISP Choice from Anecdote to Evidence first appeared on Rick Mur.Speaking metaphorically, the blast area of a datacenter should only be so large, for mechanical as well as technical reasons, in order to mitigate the risk of a failure taking out too many machines. …

Jayshree Ullal, the chief executive officer of Arista Networks, has been pointing at the $10 billion revenue upper decks since the beginning of the AI boom, but is understandably hesitant about saying when the company would cross that threshold. …

Rodney Brooks republished an article on great AI expectations that he wrote 37 years ago. Not surprisingly, apart from a few technical details triggered by four decades of exponential growth in silicon capabilities, the article could have been written yesterday.
Side note: I’m a bit younger than Rodney, but I also went through at least three waves of AI hype cycles, starting with Prolog and 4GL, then expert systems, and finally neural networks. Around that time, I stopped caring and focused on networking, but I have enough battle scars to remain skeptical.
At Cloudflare, we have a simple but audacious goal: to help build a better Internet. That mission has driven us to build one of the world’s largest networks, to stand up for content providers, and to innovate relentlessly to make the Internet safer, faster, and more reliable for everyone, everywhere.
Building world-class products is only part of the battle, however. Fulfilling our mission means making these products accessible, including a pricing model that is fair, predictable, and aligned with the value we provide. If our packaging is confusing, or if our pricing penalizes you for using the service, then we’re not living up to our mission. And the best way to ensure that alignment?
Listen to our customers.
Over the years, your feedback has shaped our product roadmap, helping us evolve to offer nearly 100 products across four solution areas — Application Services, Network Services, Zero Trust Services, and our Developer Platform — on a single, unified platform and network infrastructure. Recently, we’ve heard a new theme emerge: the need for simplicity. You’ve asked us, “A hundred products is a lot. Can you please be more prescriptive?” and “Can you make your pricing more Continue reading
