Endpoint model
Linux VM, container, Kubernetes workload, bare-metal process, or approved hardware-backed edge deployment.
Bring sites, clouds, users, workloads, and edge assets into a unified software fabric without binding operations to one carrier, cloud, or proprietary appliance stack.
Operational value
21Packets uses software Endlets to create identity-bound connectivity across distributed infrastructure. The fabric abstracts the transport beneath it, so teams can preserve a consistent operating model while locations, providers, and deployment environments change.
Inside the capability
The Route Endlet is the secure conduit between customer infrastructure and the fabric. It establishes encrypted overlay participation, applies topology and policy controls, and supports dynamic path optimization across diverse access networks.
Linux VM, container, Kubernetes workload, bare-metal process, or approved hardware-backed edge deployment.
Point-to-Point for direct relationships, Hub & Spoke for centralized service insertion, or Full Mesh for policy-controlled any-to-any connectivity.
Branch, cloud VPC/VNet, data center, ISP perimeter, industrial site, provider edge, or workload boundary.
The Endlet operating model
Why it matters
Connect branch, data-center, cloud, provider-edge, industrial, and workload deployments through one fabric model.
Deploy Endlets as virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes workloads, bare-metal processes, or approved edge hardware.
Coordinate connectivity, identity, policy, services, and lifecycle controls around the same software endpoint.
How it operates
Place lightweight software endpoints at the sites, clouds, systems, and workloads that need to participate.
Establish cryptographic identity and machine state before each Endlet is admitted.
Create policy-approved logical connectivity across the available underlay.
