TNSR by Netgate is a high-performance software router designed for businesses, governments, educational institutions, and service providers seeking scalable routing without high costs. It utilizes Vector Packet Processing (VPP) and the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) in user space for superior networking speed compared to traditional kernel-based methods. TNSR supports both static and dynamic routing protocols, including BGP, OSPF, and RIP, and can handle routing at speeds of 5, 10, 40, or even 100 Gbps on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. It includes various open source projects and Netgate value-add software, converting them into a turnkey software product complete with testing, release packaging, and distribution. TNSR is available on Netgate appliances, AWS, and Azure cloud marketplaces, and as a Bare Metal Image for third-party hardware deployment. It is priced on a per-instance, annual-subscription basis with no bandwidth, feature, traffic type, or connection limits. TNSR includes a Prometheus exporter for statistical data from the dataplane (VPP) and supports integration with Grafana for analytics and visualization. It also supports a range of features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), Network Address Translation (NAT), DHCP Client/Server, and high-performance routing. TNSR can be used for site-to-site, remote user, and intra-cloud VPN connectivity, and supports technologies like WireGuard and IPsec for secure communications.
