IPCGNAT

IPCGNAT: High-Scale Carrier-Grade NAT Solution

IPCGNAT is a highly scalable and sophisticated Network Address Translation (NAT) solution engineered to solve the critical challenge of IPv4 address exhaustion. By allowing ISPs to manage extensive IP pools efficiently, IPCGNAT enables massive subscriber growth without the need for additional, expensive IPv4 address space.

Why Choose IPCGNAT?

  • IPv4 Constraint Elimination : Uses Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) to efficiently translate a large number of private subscriber IP addresses into a limited pool of public IPv4 addresses, helping ISPs overcome IPv4 scarcity.
  • Efficient Public–Private Mapping : Maintains an optimized and well-structured NAT table that accurately maps private IPs and ports to public IPs and ports, allowing quick session tracing and easier troubleshooting.
  • Complete Flow Visibility : Captures detailed flow records including source and destination IPs, ports, protocol types, and timestamps, ensuring lawful traceability and meaningful traffic analytics.
  • Native IPv6 & Dual-Stack Support : Supports IPv6 and dual-stack deployments along with IPv4 CGNAT, enabling ISPs to roll out IPv6 services smoothly without disturbing existing subscribers.
  • Carrier-Grade Uptime : Built on a highly reliable architecture that ensures continuous operation while supporting millions of concurrent PPPoE and IPoE subscriber sessions.
  • High-Performance Processing : Delivers high-speed packet handling and lightweight lookups so NAT translations and session updates happen with very low latency.
  • Integrated AAA Control : Seamlessly integrates with AAA systems to authenticate subscribers, apply per-user policies, and link all NAT usage to the correct user identity.
  • Comprehensive Logging & Compliance : Generates detailed logs using Syslog and IPFIX, correlating subscriber identities with NAT sessions to meet regulatory and forensic requirements.
  • End-to-End Session Control : Maintains full control over each subscriber session from login and authentication to NAT translation and routing, improving stability and reducing support effort.
  • Future-Ready Network Foundation : Combines efficient IPv4 CGNAT capabilities with strong IPv6 readiness, creating a scalable and future-proof platform for next-generation ISP networks.

Core Features

  • Advanced Allocation Mechanisms : Utilizes Least Recently Used (LRU) and Slot-Based Allocation to optimize the reuse of IP addresses and ensure fair resource distribution.
  • Massive Connection Handling :  Specifically tuned to manage millions of active sessions simultaneously while maintaining complete operational integrity.
  • Dedicated Resource Pools : Supports the creation of dedicated IP pools for partner networks or high-priority corporate clients.
  • Smart Resource Optimization: Automatically manages IP assignments to ensure limited public IPv4 resources are utilized to their maximum potential.
  • Integrated Compliance Logging : Fully compatible with logging requirements to ensure that every translated session is traceable for regulatory compliance.
  • Low Latency Architecture : Designed to sit at the core of your network without creating bottlenecks, ensuring a fast browsing experience for end-users.
