CHAPTER
TWO
UNTESTED PLATFORMS
The best practice is to use a platform tested by Netgate. That said, the underlying components may support additional
hardware that has not been tested by Netgate nor confirmed to run TNSR software successfully.
Netgate customers are often on the cutting edge of technology, so they may encounter systems and components that
work with TNSR before Netgate has an opportunity to test them.
Warning: Netgate cannot offer any assurance that untested platforms will be compatible with TNSR software or
perform at acceptable levels.
Hardware support is primarily determined by The Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) and Vector Packet Processing
(VPP) open source projects which are core parts of TNSR. Additionally, the underlying operating system drivers must
support the hardware (i.e. boot, load the OS, etc.) and network interfaces used for host management. TNSR may run
on a system if these components support the hardware in question, but experiences will vary.
