BIG-IP Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT)
Stay ahead of the IPv4 to IPv6 migration.
Learn more about how F5 is helping service providers respond to COVID-19.
BIG-IP CGNAT and your network.
IPV4 AND IPV6
Migration challenges
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.

LOGGING EFFICIENCIES
Working smarter, saving money
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.

NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION
The name says it all
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.
