The Asteraix ET3616-4P4S is a 1U open intelligent gateway engineered for large-scale carrier, ISP, and data center deployments. Powered by dual Marvell OCTEON 10 CN103 DPUs with 16 ARM Neoverse N2 cores, it delivers exceptional performance, including 2x 100Gbps bidirectional routing, 2 × 80Gbps firewall throughput, and 2 × 80Gbps hardware-accelerated encryption. With 2 × 2 ×100GE QSFP28, 2 × 2 × 10GE SFP+, and 2 × 2 × 2.5GE RJ45 ports, optional 5G/LTE modules (4 SIM cards), the ET3616 provides the flexibility and power needed for demanding edge and backbone applications.
The ET3616 delivers comprehensive security with hardware-accelerated IPSec, SSL, and TLS processing. Its true inline encryption engine handles up to 2x80Gbps of encrypted traffic without performance degradation. Advanced stateful packet inspection (SPI) monitors traffic flows in real-time, while built-in VPN support includes IPSec, WireGuard, and L2TPv3 protocols for flexible secure connectivity options. Built on open standards, the ET3616 supports multiple Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Debian, and SONiC for maximum deployment flexibility. The platform is ready for high-performance networking with VPP and DPDK acceleration, while Kubernetes integration enables modern containerized applications. Additional support for O-RAN SC, KVM virtualization, and OpenVPN provides the foundation for flexible SDN and NFV deployment options across diverse use cases.
Achieve carrier-grade synchronization with the optional PTP module offering 20ns timing accuracy. Full Boundary Clock (BC) support ensures precise time distribution across your network, while exceptional holdover capability maintains accuracy for over 8 hours during signal loss. These features make the ET3616 ideal for demanding 5G fronthaul and O-RAN deployments where microsecond-level timing precision is critical.
