One of the defining features of the BCM3392 is the network accelerator. In standard routers, the main CPU struggles to handle high-speed routing, QoS (Quality of Service), and firewall inspection simultaneously. The Broadcom 3392 offloads 100% of NAT (Network Address Translation) and bridging tasks to the Runner hardware. This allowed cheap consumer routers to route Gigabit internet speeds without maxing out the CPU cores, leaving the ARM cores free for the web interface, USB sharing, and VPN tasks.

Early Adopters
: Vantiva (formerly Technicolor) was one of the first manufacturers to launch a gateway powered by the BCM3392, specifically the CGA 438A . The Broadcom 3392 offloads 100% of NAT (Network
Several major manufacturers are integrating the BCM3392 into their latest Customer Premises Equipment (CPE):
: It allows tier 2 and tier 3 operators to improve their network performance through simple software updates to their existing Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS) rather than expensive hardware overhauls. Extended Network Life
