IP Infusion, an ACCESS Company and provider of intelligent software for Next Generation Network equipment manufacturers and converged IP services providers, has released ZebOS Advanced Platform version 7.6 software. The company claims this release is the most complete Carrier Ethernet solution available to date for manufacturers targeting the exploding need for NGN equipment.

 

The latest 7.6 release offers increased support for Carrier Ethernet through Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) that can scale to more than 16 million Ethernet service instances; supports key technologies required to transport IPv6 traffic over existing IPv4 networks; features greater scalability of Border Gateway (News - Alert) Protocol (BGP) in provider networks for speedier BGP convergence; offers greater scalability of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), supporting up to 1,000 nodes, 100,000 routes and 500 nodes in one area; and 64-bit CPU support, which provides computing power to match increased network speeds.

 

Koichi Narasaki, president and CEO of IP Infusion (News - Alert), said in a statement that with this latest version of their ZebOS Advanced Platform, IP Infusion continues to lead the industry in supporting emerging Carrier Ethernet standards, giving Next Generation Network equipment manufacturers greater flexibility and time-to-market competitiveness.

 

According to Narasaki, this is one more example of how the ZebOS platform provides the critical market-ready solution needed to enable vendors who may not be expert in packet-based technologies to rapidly deploy products for high-growth NGN markets.

 

IP Infusion refers to the increasing demand for IPv6 services as exemplified by the U.S. government's mandated transition to next generation IPv6 technology for U.S. government networks and devices by June 30, 2008. The company officials say that version 7.6 of the ZebOS Advanced Platform supports several key technologies which enable IPv6 network traffic to be carried over existing IPv4 networks. Service providers can leverage all these features to manage their transition to IPv6 NGNs.

 

IP Infusion will be demonstrating Carrier Ethernet solutions based on the ZebOS Advanced Platform version 7.6, along with NetFront IP Connect and other advanced networking solutions, at NXTcomm08. The latest 7.6 release of the ZebOS Advanced Platform will be available in July 2008.
