Carrier-Grade Networking & IPV6 Migration
The most advanced carrier-grade networking solution, A10 Thunder® CGN provides high-performance, highly transparent network address and protocol translation that allows service providers and enterprises to extend IPv4 network connectivity while simultaneously transitioning to IPv6 standards.
Key Benefits of Thunder CGN
Extend IPv4 Connectivity
Solve IPv4 address exhaustion and extend the life of an IPv4 network infrastructure with carrier-grade NAT to ensure critical applications and services are always available and reliable.
Manage IPv6 Migration
Enable a smooth transition to IPv6 by supporting translation and tunneling between IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Reduce TCO
High performance in a compact form factor results in lower OPEX and CAPEX through efficient rack space usage, lower power consumption and reduced cooling requirements.
