Stay ahead of the IPv4 to IPv6 migration.
IPv4 address allotments have run out everywhere except for Africa. With global IP addresses at their limit, service providers need to make the shift to IPv6. BIG-IP Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) supports both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, without costly hardware upgrades. IPv4 packets are encapsulated in an IPv6 tunnel and sent to an external IPv4 destination.
BIG-IP CGNAT works seamlessly with our other service provider solutions:
BIG-IP CGNAT supports iPFIX to compress NAT logging, leading to high-speed logging capabilities. It reduces the amount of data per log entry, minimizing overall costs. BIG-IP CGNAT also enables high-speed log generation of individual security events.
BIG-IP CGNAT works seamlessly with our other service provider solutions:
NAT functionality includes:
• NAT44 to extend the use of IPv4 addresses.
• NAT 64 to allow IPv6 endpoints to access IPv4 content and destinations.
• DNS64 which uses DNS AAAA records so IPv4 addresses can be seen as IPv6.
BIG-IP CGNAT works seamlessly with our other service provider solutions:
