R-GOOSE Gateway

GOOSE was designed for the substation LAN — not the WAN. R-GOOSE Gateway bridges your existing Ethernet GOOSE devices to Routable GOOSE over IP Multicast, enabling wide-area protection, C-RAS, and protection monitoring without replacing a single IED.

R-GOOSE Gateway: high-speed data streams across a wide-area network

Bidirectional 
​GOOSE ↔ R-GOOSE

Bridge Ethernet GOOSE to R-GOOSE across the WAN and back, with no changes to existing IEDs.

Automatic SCL Configuration

Import a Substation Configuration Description and get GoCB/RgCB control block mappings generated automatically.

Runs on Standard Hardware

Deploys on office-grade computing platforms — no proprietary appliance required.

What R-GOOSE Gateway Delivers

R-GOOSE Gateway gives your existing IEDs a standards-compliant path to wide-area GOOSE signaling.

  • Bridges Ethernet GOOSE to Routable GOOSE (R-GOOSE) over IP Multicast — and back — without replacing existing IEDs
  • Enables wide-area protection schemes, Centralized Remedial Action Systems (C-RAS), and multi-substation coordination
  • Imports standard SCL files and auto-generates GOOSE (GoCB) and R-GOOSE (RgCB) control block mappings
  • Generates a transformed SCL file so downstream devices see the correct control block type automatically
  • Runs multiple independent gateway instances on a single platform for logical network segmentation
  • Deploys on standard computing hardware — no proprietary appliance required

Technical Specifications

R-GOOSE Gateway implements the IP Multicast profile defined by IEC TR 61850-90-5, operating over standard WAN infrastructure.
    • IEC 61850-8-1 Ed2.1 — GOOSE messaging over Ethernet
    • IEC TR 61850-90-5 — Routable GOOSE (R-GOOSE) IP Multicast profile
    • IEC 61850-6 — SCL-based configuration import and transformation
    • IP Multicast with IGMPv3 — operates over standard router and VPN infrastructure, no dedicated private network required
    • Verified 1ms end-to-end latency for 5,000 GOOSE messages through a single gateway instance, benchmarked on standard office-grade hardware
    • Role-based access control separates configuration privileges from operational control
