Hardware-Accelerated Performance
Maximum Performance with Asteraix Hardware
When deployed on RT2508 or RT3600 hardware, AsterNOS-VPP unlocks full hardware acceleration through optimized engine bindings to Marvell OCTEON CN102/CN103 processors. This delivers guaranteed performance:
RT2508: 50Gbps routing capacity, 50Gbps firewall capacity, 50Gbps encryption and decryption capacity
RT3608: 100Gbps routing capacity, 80Gbps firewall capacity, 80Gbps encryption and decryption capacity
RT3616: 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.
