I use the Thunder for CGNAT but I've never tried to do NAT444 with it. The thing I like about A10 is their TAC is awesome. If they say the box supports something, then their TAC people will break their backs to try and get it working for you. -Daniel Skeeve Stevens writes: > Hi all, > >

Hi all, I have had the A10 Thunder platform recommended off-list by a couple of people and by all reading it looks good, but anyone can do good marketing material. Anyone else here used the Thunder (looking at the 930 or 1030S, maybe even the vThunder) as a NAT444/LSN solution? ...Skeeve *Skee

Greenfield or not, unless you can expect that 100% of the users have never had internet access anywhere else before, you may be up against expectations you are not meeting with NAT444. Owen On Jun 30, 2014, at 17:28 , Skeeve Stevens wrote: > Great advice Stepan. > > Re user support. It is a

With enough horsepower, iptables+Linux is adequate for this, depending on your requirements. I would want to put as little money as possible behind CGN in favor of moving as much as possible towards IPv6 instead. Owen On Jun 29, 2014, at 22:59 , Skeeve Stevens wrote: > Hi all, > > I am sure

Great advice Stepan. Re user support. It is a greenfield environment so we're in the position to say 'this is how it is and what you get'. Re usage profile. No idea what to expect from users as there is nothing to measure. I've actually not designed a NAT444 solution for residential profiles be

Hi Valdis, Re 1.. completely understand. The environment is such that we will openly state what does and doesn't work. It is a captive environment and the users don't have a choice who they use. Think large university dorm (about 600) for part of the customer base. Re 2.. The larger design is

Hi Rob, Interesting insights. I hadn't thought of an older 6500/7600... certainly might be worth considering if I want to stay Cisco. Yes, PPS is the key, but I thought someone might have some comments on the metrics/pps I'd expect with that kind of user profile and speeds. It doesn't need to n
