Design and Implementation of Nickel: A High‑Performance Edge Four‑Layer Load Balancer Based on XDP

Nickel is a high‑performance, XDP‑based four‑layer edge load balancer that replaces Bilibili’s non‑clustered CDN architecture with a co‑deployed control plane and data plane, using hash‑based forwarding, dynamic health‑checks, and two‑hop routing to lower cost, improve load distribution, and eliminate dedicated load‑balancer machines.
