CG-NAT

Carrier Grade NAT from VAS Experts is an effective service for ISPs that has been successfully deployed in over 1500 networks. The service provides the ability to use a public IP address instead of a private one and to use Dual Stack v4-v6 to eliminate NAT44 limitations.

CG-NAT from VAS Experts is designed specifically for ISPs. With a wide range of features, the solution can be easily integrated into various expanding networks and adapted to their needs.

Carrier Grade NAT (or Large Scale NAT, LSN) benefits to the operator

01

The ability to provide multiple subscribers with Internet access via a single public IPv4 address without degrading the connection quality. Thanks to this, a single public IP address can be used to host up to 100 private addresses (1:10)

This allows a single public IP address to be used to accommodate up to 100 private addresses (1:10)
02

Create conditions for a comfortable transition to IPv6 by supporting Dual Stack v4-v6. The network will support both versions of the protocol to ensure smooth operation and a smooth transition to IPv6.

The network will support both versions of the protocol to ensure smooth operation and a smooth transition to IPv6
03

Possibility to increase the time of IPv4 application and reduce the cost of IPv4-addresses acquisition by 90%. This is especially relevant in conditions of IPv4-address shortage on the market

This is especially true in the context of a shortage of IPv4 addresses on the market

Features

Full Cone NAT

Full Cone NAT allows packets received from any system to be sent over an external TCP/UDP port. Thanks to this technology, the ISP can provide transparency of peer-to-peer protocols (P2P, games)

Hairpinning

Within NAT, subscribers can directly access each other's public addresses To access each other's public addresses without forwarding packets outside the device

Limits on TCP and UDP connections

Each IP address pool has an individual limit on TCP and UDP connections for clients. The limits are set manually. This allows the operator to efficiently allocate resources among subscribers. If a connection is inactive, it is automatically closed, freeing the port

Paired IP address pooling

Ensures that connections from a private address are linked to a public IP address

Broadcast journaling

Network broadcasts can be recorded as a text file and can be transferred to an external collector via IPFIX (NetFlow v10)

LACP

With Link Aggregation Control Protocol, you can link physical ports into a single logical cahannel

Advantages of CG-NAT from VAS Experts

1/7
Capacity

Supports up to 128 million sessions simultaneously on each AIC and handles traffic up to 120 Gbps

2/7
Predictability

Full Cone and HairPinning are responsible for predictable NAT behavior. Public IP ports are evenly distributed among subscribers thanks to user-based quota allocation

3/7
ALG support

ALGs support the operability of FTP, TFTP, RTSP, PPTP, SIP, ICMP, H.323, ESP, MGCP and DNS protocols. This enables operators to keep services and users connected and ensure application integrity

4/7
Built-in DDoS protection

The CG-NAT solution provides protection against high traffic volumes during DDoS attacks. This ensures uninterrupted operation of resources to handle client traffic and protects against service disruptions

.

5/7
VLAN and On-Stick support

VLAN support reduces the number of ports in the equipment and makes NIC utilization more efficient. You can identify inbound and outbound traffic by VLAN ID instead of NIC and use a common NIC for inbound and outbound traffic

6/7
Scalability

Dynamic scaling allows you to increase throughput as the number of subscribers and traffic volume increases by increasing server performance or growing the number of virtual NATs

7/7
High availability

The Active-Standby and Active-Active standby modes allow two devices to be used. If one of them fails, traffic is transferred to the second one without loss

.

VAS Experts supports
two types of network
address translation

01

CG-NAT (NAT44)

Used for simultaneous provisioning of a public IPv4 address to multiple clients, extends the ability to utilize the IPv4 address space
02

BiNAT (NAT 1:1)

Allows you to provide static public IP address service without changing the settings on the CPE by translating private address ports to a shared public address

Technical realization

01

Turn on the DPI SCAT in a "burst" pattern to realize the CG-NAT function

02

Install a backup platform to provide fault tolerance

03

Get a SCAT DPI BRAS or COMPLETE license for CG-NAT connection

04

The performance of the address translation function depends on the hardware platform and the SCAT DPI software license (6 to 200 Gbps)

Option Characteristics
Capacity
Throughput up to 200 Gbps
Modes
NAT44, NAT 1:1
Routing
BGP, OSPF
ALG
FTP, DNS, PPTP, ICMP, IPSec, SIP, RTSP
Logging
IPFIX (NetFlow v10), local files
Safety
Limiting the number of ports per user, Mini-Firewall for public IPs

Technical specification

Technical specification CG-NAT

CG-NAT is one of the functions of the traffic control and analysis system. CG-NAT acts as a service gateway in the network core with DPI and BRAS functions, provides traffic policing and network health analytics

Implementation options

Advantages of CG-NAT based on SCAT

01

Fully compliant with RFC 6888 and RFC 4787 standards

02

Allows you to utilize the available IPv4 address space

03

Supports up to 128 million sessions simultaneously

04

Tunneling between networks provides a smooth transition to IPv6

05

Dynamic scaling promotes capacity growth without temporarily stopping traffic

06

DDoS protection due to the ability to limit the number of TCP and UDP ports

07

DDoS protection due to the ability to limit the number of TCP and UDP ports
