2.0 Software Release Helps ISPs Reduce Costs While Increasing Network Capacity and Resilience

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Oct. 7, 2026 - PRLog -- netElastic, a leading innovator in software solutions for broadband ISPs, today announced the general availability of version 2.0 of its virtual Broadband Network Gateway (vBNG) and Carrier Grade Network Address Translation (CGNAT) software. netElastic's vBNG and CGNAT software delivers a high-performance solution that runs on cost-effective x86 servers to free ISPs from proprietary hardware lock-in.

The new 2.0 vBNG and CGNAT release delivers key benefits for service providers, including greater reliability through high availability, improved scalability to handle growing subscriber bases, enhanced performance and flexibility for network address translation, stronger support for dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 environments, compatibility with advanced networking hardware, and broader access-method options that simplify diverse deployment scenarios.

Key features in the new vBNG and CGNAT 2.0 software include:

Cluster HA – Supports session synchronization between two BNG routers to enable seamless failover between active and standby routers.
Enhanced CGNAT flexibility – Supports rule matching priority setting and dynamic NAT enable/disable based on link availability.
Improved CGNAT performance and scalability – Supports up to 250K private IP addresses on a single instance.
Enhanced dual-stack support – Provides greater flexibility and adaptability for IPv4/IPv6 deployments.
Intel E830 200G NIC support – Adds support for the Intel E830 200G NIC.
Expanded access-method support – Adds support for additional access methods, such as VPWS and L3-flow-access, making the router more flexible in supporting diverse access scenarios.

These capabilities address critical operational needs for broadband providers facing rapid growth in connected devices, the ongoing transition to IPv6, and the requirement for always-on service reliability. Cluster high availability minimizes downtime during maintenance or unexpected failures. Advanced CGNAT features help conserve IPv4 addresses while improving traffic handling efficiency. Expanded dual-stack and access-method support allow operators to modernize networks without disrupting existing services, and hardware compatibility with high-speed Intel NICs ensures the software can keep pace with increasing traffic volumes.

"Version 2.0 of our vBNG and CGNAT software represents a significant step forward in delivering the performance, reliability, and flexibility that broadband operators need today," said Weixiao Liu, CEO and CTO of netElastic. "By combining robust high-availability clustering, substantially improved CGNAT scale and intelligence, dual-stack enhancements, and broader hardware and access-method support, we are enabling service providers to build more resilient, cost-efficient networks that are ready for the next wave of subscriber growth and multi-gigabit services. Our software-centric approach on x86 servers continues to free operators from proprietary hardware lock-in while delivering carrier-grade capabilities."

Bangkok’s culinary stars fade amid rising costs, tighter budgets and fewer tourists

Earlier this year, Bangkok’s F&B scene pulled off a coup. At Asia’s 50 Best Bars awards in Macau, eight venues from Asia’s “City of Angels” crowded the list – rankings historically dominated by Hong Kong and Singapore – with four more in the 51-100 tier. The city’s restaurant honours tell a similar story – Sühring recently joined Sorn in holding three Michelin stars, and Bangkok claims nine spots on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, more than any other city. The tourism figures are equally bullish:...

The workout your body does while you’re lying down

We are constantly challenging ourselves each day. We track steps, count calories and book gym classes. But we’re forgetting the most powerful performance tool we have: sleep. Think of sleep as “fitness for your brain and body. Just like you can’t get stronger by skipping workouts, you can’t heal, focus, or lose weight by skipping sleep. Sleep fitness is training your body to recover well — night after night. Therefore, sleep deprivation is a no-no. Here’s the truth: seven to nine hours isn’t a luxury. It’s maintenance. Why sleep is your secret weapon Recovery: While you sleep, muscles repair, hormones balance, and your immune system resets. One bad night and cortisol — your stress hormone — spikes. Two bad nights and your cravings for sugar and coffee double. Plus, you get more irritable. Brain power: Sleep clears out mental “waste” through the lymphatic system. That’s why after eight hours, you make better decisions, handle stress better, and remember things. People don’t run on four hours of sleep. They crash because of it. Metabolism: Sleep regulates ghrelin and leptin — the hormones that tell you “I’m hungry” and “I’m full.” Sleep-deprived people don’t lack willpower. They’re biologically hungrier. 4 habits to build sleep fitness Start a sleep schedule: Your body loves rhythm. Go to bed and wake up within the same one-hour window, even on weekends. It’s like showing up at the gym. Consistency beats intensity. Cool down before bed: Athletes don’t sprint and then stop. They cool down. Do the same for your brain. By 60 minutes before bedtime, dim the lights, no more work emails, no watching heavy news and no violent movies. Try stretching, reading, prayer, or journaling. Build a sleep-friendly environment: Think dark, cool and quiet. The ideal temperature is 24 to 26 degrees Celsius. Blackout curtains, earplugs, or a fan can help. Your bed is for sleep and rest only — not scrolling on your phone, not worrying. Watch what you ‘fuel’ with caffeine: After 2 p.m., caffeine stays in your system. Alcohol might knock you out but ruins deep sleep. And late, heavy meals make your body digest instead of recover. Say yes to water, not to milk tea at 10 p.m. The real goal Sleep fitness isn’t about perfect eight-hour nights. It’s about making sleep a priority, not an afterthought. You can out-train a bad diet. You can’t out-work a bad sleep schedule. Tonight, don’t just “go to bed. Recover. Because the strongest, clearest, kindest and most beautiful version of you shows up tomorrow — and she was built tonight, while you slept. Start small. 30 minutes earlier. Phone out of the room. One deep breath. Your body is already doing the work. So let it. *** Affirmation: “In sleep, I heal.” Love and light.
