Integrate a URL classifier into an appliance or application
The ufdbGuard API is a software library that can be used by any 3rd party application written in C or C++.
The new API that was released on July 8, 2024 has the following properties:
- classifies URLs into content categories like shops, gambling, entertainment, adult, etc.
- loads the URL database into the memory of an on-site server or appliance, so there is no dependency on a cloud instance
- performs 2 million classifications per second using a single thread of an
Intel Gold 6148 Skylake CPU
- has excellent scaling properties and performs 80 million classifications per second when using all 40 threads of an Intel Gold 6148 Skylake CPU
- the URL database can be extended with user-defined URL categories
- maintains statistics that the application can query
- also available for filtering appliances using the
Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) or
Marvell's MIPS64 Octeon III CN7xxx CPU.
The
ufdbGuard API is different from
ufdbGuard for Squid and has a different license scheme targeted for environments with large volumes.
System integrators and vendors may
