Agilio OVS Firewall gives users the ability to define more intelligent filtering policies, security groups, access control lists, and stateful firewall applications. The solution is a drop-in accelerator for OVS, making it compatible with existing network tools, controllers and orchestration software. Netronome Agilio SmartNICs and Agilio software track the features of standard OVS, which are continuously evolving and include server-based networking functions such as flexible match-action forwarding, connection tracking (Conntrack), network overlay control with tunneling protocols such as VXLAN and NVGRE, and fine-grained statistics and meters. These features enable functions such as L2/L3 forwarding, network virtualization, security, load balancing and analytics. Agilio Firewall Software, combined with Agilio SmartNICs augments the Agilio OVS Software product to enable zero-trust stateful security while significantly improving server-based networking performance.
