# October 2026 - Traffic

The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for Traffic during October 2026.

## Features

- **Scope filtering**: Data Explorer and board queries respect the user's active access scope.
- **Faster reverse DNS**: Lookups have bounded timeouts. In the test view, query time dropped from about 49 s to 6–8 s.
- **Faster filters**: Long device, port and CIDR lists and OR chains run faster. In the benchmark, 250 CIDR terms went from 771 ms to 17 ms.
- **Smaller interface-filter queries**: Interface filters (alias, description, speed, VRF) are limited to the devices you selected.

## Bug Fixes

- **Negated device filters**: "Not" device filters give correct results. A contradictory filter returns an empty result immediately.
- **Interface-class filters**: These filters are now tied to the correct device.
- **Device filters**: Device scoping and pattern filters, including patterns with < and >, match the older behavior.
- **App protocol filters**: Dimensions that depend on app protocol now take filters into account in Data Explorer and board panels.
- **Percentages in non-flow queries**: Percentages are no longer summed when results are re-aggregated.
- **Invalid IP errors**: An invalid IP or CIDR returns an HTTP 400 user error.
