What FastNetMon is
FastNetMon analyzes live network traffic to detect DDoS attacks in near real time and trigger mitigation according to operator-defined rules. It detects volumetric and packet-rate attacks using configurable thresholds, with telemetry from sFlow, NetFlow, IPFIX, jFlow, or mirrored traffic. Mitigation options include remote-triggered blackholing, BGP FlowSpec filtering, and diversion to external scrubbing centres. The platform supports IPv4 and IPv6 and is described as scaling to terabits of traffic and millions of flows per second on commodity hardware. It lists Cisco, Juniper, Nokia, Huawei, and Arista equipment, plus AWS and Google Cloud traffic visibility, Grafana dashboards, and blocklist filtering. Deployment options include Docker, virtual machines and hypervisors, Google Compute Engine, ARM 64, and Ubuntu LTS. A 30-day free trial includes detection, automated mitigation tools, and traffic visibility and analytics, without requiring a credit card. The 10G plan costs $115 a month for 10 Gbps of observed traffic. Licensing is based on average combined incoming and outgoing bandwidth over a month; a monthly subscription also has a one-time $85 USD activation fee, and listed prices exclude UK VAT where applicable.
