Introducing the Netgate 6100 Max with TNSR

We’re excited to announce that the Netgate® 6100 Max is now available with TNSR® software. TNSR software is a high-performance software router that enables businesses and service providers to address today’s demanding edge and cloud networking needs. With TNSR software, the Netgate 6100 Max transforms into a super-scale, ready-to-use router that supports high-speed throughput without the super-scale price. We anticipate that this will catch the attention of anyone with a need for 10 Gbps or better performance under heavy traffic loads and who wants to maximize their IT return on investment.

What TNSR Can Do For You

High-Performance Routing and High-Throughput Site-to-Site IPsec

TNSR software offers true 10+ Gbps or more routing, as well as fast and efficient site-to-site IPsec, especially when compared to traditional solutions underpinned by kernel-based, single packet-at-a-time processing approaches.

Preinstalled with the latest TNSR software, our testing shows the Netgate 6100 Max delivering 18.6 Gbps L3 routing, 18.6 Gbps ACL filtering, and 7.2 Gbps AES-GCM IPsec VPN throughput - using iPerf3 traffic as a benchmark*. These are excellent figures for a product in this class, especially fanless and at such a reasonable price point.

High-Speed Cloud Connectivity

In addition to being available on the Netgate 6100, 1537, and 1541, TNSR is also available on AWS and Azure as a vRouter solution. In the cloud, TNSR is ideal for connecting to Cloud Service Provider on-ramps or between Virtual Private Clouds - offering speed, scalability, and affordability.
