EANTC Confirmed NFWare Virtual CGNAT Is Ready For Large-Scale Deployments
14/10/2019
White papers
The European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) published the performance and scalability test results of the NFWare Virtual CGNAT. NFWare demonstrated outstanding performance and capabilities: 230 Gbps (1520 Bytes frame size), 88 million packets per second (260 Bytes frame size), and 100M concurrent sessions in a NAT44 scenario. EANTC confirmed that the VNF is ready for large-scale deployment across CSP's networks.
EANTC Confirmed NFWare Virtual CGNAT Is Ready For Large-Scale Deployments. Performance tests proved NFWare's outstanding performance: 230 Gbps and 100M sessions on Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 server and dual Intel® Xeon® Gold 6252 processors.
The tests placed a strong focus on the three main indicators (KPIs): traffic throughput, session establishment rate, and maximum concurrent sessions. Beyond that, EANTC validated an effective utilization of the compute node networking capacity and of the compute node processing capacity.

In our evaluation, NFWare Virtual CGNAT demonstrated outstanding scalability and performance in NAT44 scenarios, clearly showing its readiness for tier-1 service provider IPv4 network address translation. To achieve superior data plane performance, NFWare's cloud-ready implementation uses PCI Passthrough, making it best suited for large-scale use cases occupying a complete compute node.
