Description

The SD-Edge provides essential network infrastructure capabilities and sophisticated services through software that operates on standard commercial servers (COTS). This cloud-native solution can be tailored to function as a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG), Provider Edge Router (PE Router), Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) gateway, Wireless Access Gateway (WAG), trusted WAG, CGNAT gateway, or even as a 5G Access Gateway Function (5G AGF) aimed at facilitating Wireless Wireline Convergence (WWC). It enables service providers to offer high-speed internet access, with the adaptability to scale efficiently to satisfy the requirements of demanding users while also providing enhanced services. Our cloud-native vBNG is built on open standards, features a disaggregated architecture, and operates on widely-used processors at terabit speeds. It supports broadband services that encompass PE Routing, CGNAT, and can be configured to integrate SASE. In addition to its rapid scaling capabilities, it is designed to be flexible, agile, and economical, making it an ideal choice for operators looking to enhance their service offerings. The versatility and efficiency of the SD-Edge ensure that it meets the evolving needs of a diverse customer base.

Description

Facilitating the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 requires a secure IP address strategy as part of an integrated set of functions. Service providers must effectively handle IPv4 devices while gradually adopting IPv6 devices and applications. Given that IPv6 devices and content lack backward compatibility with IPv4, migration strategies must ensure that both protocols can coexist. The BIG-IP CGNAT solution offers carrier-grade scalability, capable of handling numerous IP address translations, rapid NAT translation setup, and efficient logging capabilities. Additionally, BIG-IP CGNAT can be paired with the BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager (AFM) to create a robust security framework. Adopting a unified approach simplifies management and operational tasks, decreases costs, and enhances opportunities to generate revenue from services and functions. Moreover, BIG-IP CGNAT can be integrated into a consolidated S/Gi-LAN or N6 LAN in 5G networks, encompassing features like DNS, edge firewall, DDoS protection, and video traffic management. Overall, this combined strategy paves the way for streamlined operations and better resource allocation.
