NAT Gateway

A high-performance Internet traffic gateway service that fulfills massive volumes of Internet access requests

NAT Gateway (NG) is a network cloud service that supports IP address translation and enables high-performance Internet access for resources in Tencent Cloud. With the help of NG, Tencent Cloud resources are able to access the Internet more securely without exposing private network information to the Internet. NG can fulfill high volumes of Internet access requests, supporting up to 10 million concurrent connections. Moreover, it offers IP-level traffic control through which you can view traffic data in real time for faster identification of exceptional traffic and easier network troubleshooting.

Benefits

Support for Massive Volumes of Concurrent Requests

NG supports massive volumes of concurrent requests (up to 10 million concurrent connections), making it ideal for scenarios with high volumes of Internet access requests such as video services, Internet of Things and big data analytics.

High-performance Access

For businesses with high Internet access frequency and high bandwidth requirements, NG supports forwarding at over 5 Gbps with 10 elastic IPs bound simultaneously, enabling you to easily cope with peak traffic and ensuring the service reliability of large-scale Internet applications.

Visual Management

NG features traffic control, graphic display of gateway performance status, multi-dimensional monitoring and advance alerting for faults, helping you quickly locate and solve problems as they occur.

Stability and High Availability

The underlying layer of NG features a high-reliability design combining dual-server hot backup and automatic disaster recovery, offering a service availability up to 99.99% and ensuring the stable operation of your business.

Better Cost-effectiveness

Tencent Cloud provides a variety of on-demand NAT gateways that allow you to choose the most appropriate services based on your business needs. In addition, NG supports Bandwidth Package (BWP) for a flexible mix-and-match experience, helping you reduce business costs.

Service Integration

NG can be integrated with other Tencent Cloud services such as BGPAntiDDoS and BWP, helping you build a complete end-to-end cloud network solution.

Features

SNAT

Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) makes it possible for multiple CVMs on VPC to actively access the Internet through the same public IP address.

DNAT

Destination Network Address Translation (DNAT) is used to map the private IP address, protocol and port of a CVM on VPC to public IP address, protocol and port so that the services on the CVM can be accessed from the Internet.

Gateway Traffic Control

The gateway traffic control feature of NG provides "monitoring" and "control" capabilities at the IP-gateway granularity, enabling refined gateway traffic visualization for straightforward insights into the traffic. In addition, the speed limiting capability helps with the blocking of exceptional traffic.

Traffic Alarming

Custom traffic alarms can be set up to enable advance alerting for risks, with alarm messages automatically sent through email and SMS when a metric exceeds a certain threshold. Monitoring and alarming can be used free of charge, enabling you to quickly locate problems as they occur.

Bandwidth Package (BWP)

NG can be used alongside BWP to allow multiple IPs to share the public bandwidth, providing various applications with the necessary bandwidth for different peak times and effectively reducing bandwidth costs.

Security and High Defense

BGPAntiDDoS provides DDoS and CC protection with extremely high bandwidth, offering best-in-class BGP protection bandwidth up to 310 Gbps. High-defense packets can be bound to the NAT gateway requiring protection to achieve security enhancement.
