Product Overview

ZEN Application Gateway was designed to bridge IPv4 and IPv6 networks, enabling communication between IPv6 clients and IPv4 applications, IPv6 applications over IPv4 networks, and IPv4-to-IPv4 communication via IPv6 tunnels. The architecture likely consisted of components for protocol translation, routing, and network stack management. Communication between components probably occurred via internal APIs or message queues.

Specific details on the architecture are unavailable. Given that ZEN Application Gateway is no longer supported, organizations should migrate to alternative solutions such as HAProxy, NGINX, or Envoy. These alternatives offer similar functionality and can be integrated into existing network architectures.

Migration involves reconfiguring network mappings, security policies, and routing rules on the new platform. Architects should carefully evaluate the architectural implications of migrating to a new solution, considering factors such as scalability, performance, and security. A detailed migration plan is essential for a successful transition.
