The Asterfusion RT2508 is a turnkey enterprise edge router
that pre-installs Asterfusion's AsterNOS-VPP network operating system on the same compact half-width 1U OCTEON 10 hardware as the ET2508. AsterNOS-VPP is a SONiC-based distribution that pairs SONiC's mature control plane with a high-performance VPP software data plane, delivering up to 50 Gbps of intelligent routing throughput on the Marvell OCTEON 10 CN102XX (8-core ARM64 Neoverse N2). It arrives ready to deploy as an SMB/enterprise router, secure VPN gateway, or edge firewall — no integration required.
On the data plane
the RT2508 delivers line-rate L3 routing with up to 2M RIB entries, full BGP/MP-BGP tables and peering, OSPF v2/v3, ECMP/UCMP, VRF, and policy-based routing. Multi-WAN routing steers and fails over traffic across multiple ISPs or uplinks by policy, while NAT, CGNAT, and MAP-T support large-scale address sharing and stateless IPv4-to-IPv6 translation. Secure connectivity is built in with IPsec and WireGuard VPN, GRE and VXLAN tunneling, N-tuple wild-match ACLs, DHCP/DNS services, and PPPoE client/server for broadband access. High availability is covered by MC-LAG, VRRP, BFD, and Monitor Link.
Operationally, the RT2508 inherits SONiC's widely adopted, automation-friendly management model — ZTP, Klish CLI, RESTful API, gNMI, NetConf, and uCentral — so it slots into existing NetDevOps pipelines. Built-in telemetry streaming via NetFlow/IPFIX, a Prometheus exporter, and SNMP, plus SPAN/RSPAN/ERSPAN mirroring, gives deep visibility into traffic and device health. Backed by the OCTEON 10's hardware-accelerated VPP data plane and true inline crypto, the RT2508 brings carrier-grade routing, security, and observability to the network edge in a low-power, fully managed package. AsterNOS-VPP is perpetually licensed with a yearly major-version upgrade subscription.
