6WIND Virtual Host Network Accelerator (6WIND vHNA) Certified

HNA includes a Kubernetes plugin and the router to provide a network connectivity to Pods inside a Kubernetes cluster. The plugin contains:

• hna-cni: a CNI binary (Container Networking Interface), started by the container runtime at Pod start. It is in charge of creating the interfaces inside the Pod, and the custom resources used to notify the operator.
• hna-operator: a Kubernetes operator, packaged as a docker image and running as a DaemonSet (i.e. on all nodes of the cluster). The operator monitors Kubernetes resources (Pod, ConfigMap, …) and configures the HNA that runs as a Pod.

HNA router features enhanced routing capabilities such as BGP L3VPN, VXLAN EVPN,  BGP EVPN filtering, BGP EVPN RT5.

HNA achieves high throughput and low latency, ensuring superior performance for demanding Telco workloads.
