vThunder

What do you like best?

vThunder is a great solucion for CGN in different size of ISP. vThunder gives you full functionality of CGN in the virtual server.

Almost that, with vthunder you can "buy" CGN capacity i.e. for 10Gbps and you can distribute that CGN Gbps in different locations. That's a new feature.

What do you dislike?

The syslog is still difficult to track associations between the client and the public IP. It's not easy to deploy. You have fixed nat option, but with this feature, you don't maximize the public ip use.

A10 offer another product to do this tracking.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

It's a great option for this days. There are very few IPv4 available and CGN is absolutely necessary in the way that IPv6 keeps growing.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

vThuner allows ISP to nat with CGN in slow / middle / big scale.

We've tested the solution about four months, we've made test in lab and we've tested with clients.

This are the tests we've done

- port forwarding and port mapping

- home banking

- web mail

- online gaming (PS3 and PS4)

- cloud network (dropbox, onedrive)

- camara access from outside

- SNMP configuration and radius.
