AI-Native Router

Intelligent Routing. Autonomous Defense.
Explainable by Design.

route.fast uses an on-device LLM to detect, reason and mitigate threats — from DDoS to C2 and BGP hijacks — while authenticating every intent with LIP-4D and logging human-readable explanations.

Fighting AI with AI — the foundation of an adaptive and self-healing version of the Internet.

What is route.fast?

route.fast is an AI-powered, agentic router that blends proven Linux routing (FRR/BIRD/GoBGP), high-speed telemetry (eBPF, NetFlow, Suricata/Zeek), and a local LLM “brain” trained to reason about threats and intent. It explains every action in plain language, enforces policies through a LIP-4D gate (who/what/where/when), and coordinates with peers via a secure, human-auditable intent protocol.

Core Features

AI-Driven Reasoning

On-device LLM interprets telemetry and intel, proposes mitigations in strict JSON and generates clear explanations.

Agentic Coordination

Routers negotiate signed intents in an AI-native (MCP-style) language to prevent collateral damage.

LIP-4D Security

Identity, authorization, context and time checks authorize every change before it reaches the control plane.

Standards-Based Actuation

FlowSpec, BGP policy, ACLs and VRF/VLAN segmentation — no proprietary tricks, just interoperable control.

Explainable Autonomy

Every action is logged with rationale and evidence digests to accelerate audits and incident response.

Open-Core

Community Edition (Apache-2.0) + Enterprise for LIP-4D server, multi-tenant control and compliance reports.

How it works

1 • Sense

eBPF, NetFlow/sFlow and Suricata/Zeek provide high-fidelity signals.

2 • Reason

The LLM evaluates evidence against policy and returns a structured action + explanation.

3 • Gate

LIP-4D validates identity, authorization, context and TTL before any change is allowed.

4 • Act

FRR/ExaBGP/nftables apply standards-based mitigations (FlowSpec, localpref, ACLs, segmentation).

5 • Explain

Every action is recorded with a human-readable rationale and evidence digest.

6 • Coordinate

Peers exchange signed intents to share load and prevent cascading failures.

FAQ

Does the AI touch packet payloads?

No. route.fast reasons over metadata (flows, counters, alerts). Data-plane forwarding remains in kernel/ASIC.

Can it disrupt my routing?

Actions use standard interfaces (FlowSpec, BGP policy, ACLs) with rate-limits, circuit-breakers and rollback.

Is it open source?

Yes. Community Edition is Apache-2.0. Enterprise adds LIP-4D policy server, multi-tenant control and compliance exports.
