High-performance Software Router

Flexible, scalable, and unmatched in value, TNSR™ meets all your levels of site-to-site VPN needs. TNSR™ (pronounced "tensor") is Netgate's large-scale routing software solution dedicated to Enterprises, Institutions and Service Providers.

TNSR™ is a high-performance software router based on VPP (Vector Packet Processing from FD.io, of which Netgate is a major contributor), combining the extraordinary packet processing performance of VPP with the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) and other open source technologies to provide a high-performance turnkey software router at an extremely attractive cost.

Applications

Ultra-fast routing, IPsec Performance

Vector Packet Processing (VPP) breaks kernel-base processing economics.
5, 10, 40, even 100 Gbps, or more can now be delivered via inexpensive software on ‘white boxes versus ‘vendor lock-in’ hardware.
Packet processing no longer craters as packets sizes get small, e.g., application traffic.
Network interfaces no longer get cut in half, or worse, when hauling encrypted traffic.

Management Flexibility

RESTCONF API enable each router instance to be dynamically configured and monitored with integrated automation.
Command Line Interface enables users to type familiar commands quickly and easily.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) service provides a means by which the router can be monitored by a network monitoring system or other SNMP-enabled software.

Deployment Flexibility

Turnkey appliance and virtual machine instances for remote worker, office and data center locations.
AWS and/or Azure commercial and government clouds.
