CGNAT Infrastructure at the Edge

Meet Rising Traffic and Subscribers Volumes as Networks Evolve •While service providers and enterprise transform networks to telco cloud and distributed edge architectures, traffic and subscriber volumes keep climbing. The global pandemic has added to that growth, pushing Internet traffic up 50% in some markets. Service providers across the world are scrambling to increase capacity as subscribers work and play more at home and as enterprises shift to on-line business models. One area that can quickly get overwhelmed is the CGNAT infrastructure – that capability in service provider and enterprise networks that manages the pool of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. During this session we are going to discuss the challenges now faced by service providers, including real world case studies.. We will also review some of the features and products that comprise A10 Networks’ Thunder Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) solution and how A10 can help service providers and enterprises optimize existing CGN infrastructure, deploy capabilities in new architectures, meet short term capacity requirements, extend the IPv4 lifetime and transition to IPv6.
