Tier-1 CSP deploys deployed NFWare vCGNAT
NFWare virtual CGNAT was deployed for more than 3 terabits by the Tier-1 communication service provider to make more efficient use of its IPv4 addresses and to solve the
IPv4 addresses exhaustion. Due to the increase in the number of subscribers and devices, the Tier-1 CSP decided to not buy additional IPv4 addresses and to switch to a high-performance solution for transparent IP-addresses translation.
To find a high-performance solution with efficient hardware utilization that can process a large number of packets.
Effects of Implementation
The issue with the IPv4 addresses shortage was resolved.
The efficient utilization of resources was achieved by decreased spending on IP addresses.
Subscribers did not experience any problems during the deployment process.
To stop purchasing high-priced IPv4-addresses.
To find an easy-to-deploy product that requires minimal time for installation.
To migrate from hardware to a virtual infrastructure.
To be ready for the future 5G and Edge launch plan.
The migration to a virtual infrastructure was achieved by moving from legacy hardware products.
