      A little over a year ago, I wrote a blog that explained the coming world of high-performance, flexible software-based routers. Seriously disruptive packet processing performance that could change the landscape of networking applications across data centers, the enterprise WAN, service provider networks, and customer premises deployments. No need to recount that here, the principles of the post haven’t changed.

        I've seen lots of hand-waving about TNSR and SCLR or whatever they're called over the past year, but my brain still isn't grokking what this actually is. Is it a customized Linux distro? A network stack? A library? An application? A specialized protocol??

        I've also seen it talked about without any context to pfSense. Is it the natural successor to pfSense? Or is it a complimentary technology meant for high-end users/ISPs? I see on other forums such as Reddit that other people are just as confused about this as I am.

          Yes.

          I'm sure someone will come along shortly with more detail, but to oversimplify TNSR, is a very high-throughput routing platform. It's based on different technologies than pfSense (Linux base OS, VPP for pushing packets, strongSwan for IPsec, FRR for BGP) and isn't really related directly. It can be configured via CLI or through an API (for central management/monitoring/orchestration/etc)

          TNSR is is complementary. It is aimed at a different segment of the market that pfSense can't touch performance-wise.

            The questions above were somewhat valid in 2018.
            The answer were created a couple of weeks later : see at www.netgate.com or directly tnsr.com

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum.

                I'm really excited for TNSR. Before I found out about it, I was considering combining FRR, VPP and GoBGP.
