Using the RESTCONF API to Implement Changes to TNSR

Managing networking and security functions is complex. Further, each business entity has a unique approach that best addresses their needs. TNSR's REST API enables orchestration across tens to thousands of instances.

Application Highlight: Edge / Border / Core Router

High performance routing - at any level - has traditionally forced buyers into either large capital outlays for ASIC-based appliances, or a large array of less expensive COTS (Commercial Off the Shelf) hardware appliances / VMs - with inherent kernel-based packet processing limitations.

TNSR uses Vector Packet Processing (VPP) to crush traditional high-performance routing economics - enabling edge, border and core routing functions to be fulfilled at dramatically lower price points.

For more TNSR use cases, videos, and data sheets, please visit our TNSR resource page. 

TNSR Performance Overview

TNSR can route up to 1 Tbps (14+ Mpps) in software running on commodity CPUs - which slashes costs, eliminates vendor lock-in, reduces IT infrastructure complexity, and enables elastic scale. This performance overview shows astounding packet processing performance for the dollar. Applications ranging from simple routing to complex packet processing can now be fulfilled for a fraction of price of previous commercial solutions.
