The Ministry of Digital Development has revised its Runet-control plan: TSPU capacity is to reach 954 Tbps by 2030. Funding for the "Cybersecurity Infrastructure" project was raised by 14.9 billion rubles, bringing the total to 83.7 billion rubles.
The upgrade aims to enable full traffic filtering with DPI (deep packet inspection), which can block prohibited resources and even VPN protocols when they’re masked. Updated nodes are expected to take on 100% of internal traffic by the end of 2026 — a tight deadline, admittedly.
A 2.5× expansion of channels responds to critical strain on existing gear. In March 2026 the system stumbled under a sudden surge in filtering rules, and some previously blocked sites briefly became reachable; that incident seems to have accelerated the push for capacity increases.
Experts point out that the planned 954 Tbps is roughly 30× the Runet’s current average traffic, creating a large spare capacity for digging into complex bypass techniques and for fending off growing DDoS campaigns. Officials describe the goal as achieving "network sovereignty" (their phrase), though the scale raises questions about how that control will be operationalized.
