Categories & Use Cases

Netgate to deliver a gateway to superb router performance

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I've had a tangible experience with Netgate TNSR version 21.07 and the recently launched version 22.02 TNSR for traffic routing and cloud networking. We engaged Netgate TNSR routers rather than the traditional proprietary silicon based routers because it's quick to setup the connection and there is less packet processing latencies. It is also crucial to my work area which is bot creation since there are no software bloats when deploying cloud-based bots.

Pros

  • Has very fast connection setups
  • I've never experienced packet processing latencies while using the software.
  • It's easy to monitor the routers via SNMP

Cons

  • Took me a while before I completely got a hold of the complex command line interface.

Most Important Features

  • super fast routing
  • The Simple Network Management Protocol to monitor routers with ease.

Return on Investment

  • We deploy the third party hardware on AWS with great flexibility
  • Fast packet processing
  • Superb router performance without needing ASICs.
