Through the partnership with A10, Ericsson's customers have multiple options within the AX Series platforms to address IPv4 exhaustion and ensure that their customers' communication and connectivity demands can be met. The AX Series are energy-efficient appliances with the industry's highest performance for IPv4 preservation solutions, such as Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT / CGN), also known as Large Scale NAT (LSN), in addition to IPv6 migration solutions, such as NAT64/DNS64, DS-Lite, 6RD, and NAT46. A10's CGNAT technology is a mature solution that maximizes existing IPv4 allocations, from the first AX Series CGN deployments that went live in 2010, to the dozens of deployments that have followed since at major service providers all around the world. "We selected A10 Networks as it delivers the most capable solution," said Melih Tufan, Head of Product Line Packet Networks at Ericsson. "We look forward to a successful partnership with A10 to deliver powerful, carrier class IPv4/IPv6 solutions to help our global customers preserve investments while providing a clear path to IPv6, efficiently and affordably."
