Surge Router
Industrial routing, segmentation, and traffic filtering.
Surge Router is the industrial network routing and segmentation layer of the Labshock ecosystem, responsible for simulating realistic OT network architecture and controlled communication between system zones.
It enables structured separation between IT, DMZ, and OT environments by implementing virtual routing logic, NAT behavior, and traffic filtering rules that reflect real industrial network constraints.
The system supports protocol-aware routing for industrial communication flows, ensuring that SCADA, PLC, and monitoring traffic can be segmented, restricted, or redirected based on network topology definitions.
Surge Router also provides configurable isolation policies that simulate real-world industrial security architectures, including restricted pathways between critical control systems and external-facing services.
Flat networks are simple to design but unrealistic in industrial environments.
Real operational technology systems rely on strict segmentation, controlled communication paths, and intentional isolation between critical zones.
Surge Router was built to make network structure an active part of the simulation, transforming routing and segmentation from passive infrastructure into a core component of industrial behavior inside Labshock.
