6WIND vRouter Solutions
6WIND virtual routers, or vRouters, are deployed as software routers on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. They are successful to replace hardware routers from Cisco, Juniper, MikroTik and more with use cases from 1G to over 100G throughput requirements. Customers save 50 – 90% of their costs after replacing hardware routers with 6WIND vRouters.

Use Cases
6WIND routing software meets requirements for Service Provider and Enterprise use cases.
6WIND’s vRouters provide both traditional, CLI-based management and IT-style management based on automation and integration with high level orchestration tools. 6WIND proposes YANG-based NETCONF APIs and supports standard Linux APIs such as iproute and iptables. Configuration can happen through Linux, the CLI and APIs for integration with third-party management tools and orchestrators. For Monitoring, we support the traditional SNMP and syslog mechanisms, plus telemetry through sFlow and graphical analytics (Grafana) with time series data base, including pre-integration with InfluxDB and Grafana. Our data models leverage YANG and are therefore easily understandable and extensible.
