Hardware-Accelerated Performance
Maximum Performance with Asterfusion Hardware
When deployed on Asterfusion ET2508 or ET3600 hardware, AsterNOS-VPP unlocks full hardware acceleration through optimized engine bindings to Marvell OCTEON CN102/CN103 processors. This delivers guaranteed performance:

ET2508: 50Gbps routing capacity, 50Gbps firewall capacity, 50Gbps encryption and decryption capacity
ET3608: 100Gbps routing capacity, 80Gbps firewall capacity, 80Gbps encryption and decryption capacity
ET3616: 2 x 100Gbps routing capacity, 2 x 80Gbps firewall capacity, 2 x 80Gbps encryption and decryption capacity

Flexible Performance on x86 Platforms
For software-only deployments on x86 platforms, AsterNOS-VPP performance scales with your hardware capabilities. Actual throughput depends on the CPU specifications, memory bandwidth, NIC capabilities, and the characteristics of the workload. This provides deployment flexibility—run it on virtual machines for testing or bare-metal servers for production workloads tailored to your requirements.

AsterNOS-VPP – Next-Generation Router OS for Modern Networks

AsterNOS-VPP combines SONiC’s open control plane with VPP’s hardware-accelerated data plane, delivering carrier-grade performance from the edge to the core. Deploy as software-only on x86, or choose integrated hardware bundles with Marvell OCTEON CN102/CN103 platforms for turnkey solutions. Scale from 0 to 200Gbps across three editions designed for every network scenario—from branch offices to backbone infrastructure. Built-in IPSec/WireGuard VPN, advanced ACLs, GeoIP filtering, and comprehensive monitoring ensure your network stays fast, secure, and observable.
