FusionNOS
Advanced Deep Packet Processing System
for Packet Broker

Name: FusionNOS
SKU: FusionNOS

Asterfusion‘s Linux-based NOS built for DPU platforms. It delivers advanced network packet broker functions and acceleration for backend analytics. Powered by DPDK, it achieves high-performance packet processing on ARM/x86 systems.

What’s in FusionNOS

Cost and Architecture

Based on general-purpose ARM/x86 platforms with DPDK-accelerated high-performance traffic processing, eliminates reliance on specialized hardware and significantly reduces deployment costs.

Modular Design

Based on an NFV architecture, different traffic processing functions are packaged as VNF software modules, allowing flexible combination and deployment according to the required services, with elastic scaling.

Deep Packet Processing

Supports fine-grained packet preprocessing operations, including packet deduplication with order preservation, IP fragmentation reassembly, TCP reordering, and data masking.

REST & Multi-Env Deployment

Open Management

Provides open REST APIs for third-party integration and service orchestration. Supports Web UI, SNMP, and CLI management for flexible adaptation.

Flexible Deployment

Supports physical deployment (ARM/x86), virtualized deployment (VMware, KVM, etc.), and cloud deployment (OpenStack, with plans to extend to mainstream public clouds).

Deployment in Asterfusion

SKU with DPU Card

Available on the Asterfusion CX306P-48Y-M-H switch, the optional DPU Card(CN103/CN9670) allows FusionNOS to be deployed on it—enabling NetFlow/IPFIX export, NPB functionality, VLAN processing or other switch-level operations.

Asterfusion Helium SmartNIC

Running FusionNOS on Helium EC2002P SmartNIC and EC2004Y SmartNIC provides a foundation for developing user-defined upper-layer applications, enabling network, security, and storage acceleration.

DPU Network Platform

ET3212A and ET3424A are preloaded with FusionNOS, providing a foundation for developing upper-layer applications. They support virtual network function offloading, network visibility, and backed tools acceleration.
