Products
ZebOSŪ Network Platform
The ZebOS Network Platform delivers scalable, modular, high-performance Layer 2 and Layer 3 carrier-class routing and switching software solutions. ARS offers standards-based protocol stacks supporting IPv4, IPv6, Multicast, MPLS Traffic Engineering, DiffServ, QoS, VLAN Switching, Virtual Routing, L2-VPLS and L3-VPN. In particular, these protocol components enable cost-effective, high-availability Metro Ethernet solutions. The modular architecture of the ZebOS protocols allows equipment manufacturers to easily add individual protocols to their existing systems, add a bundle of protocols for upgraded systems, or integrate the complete framework in new systems that offer truly differentiated features and valued added services.
ZebOS Network Platform Carrier Ethernet Profile
The ZebOS Network Platform Profiles leverage a comprehensive suite of robust, standards-based Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) / Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), unicast, multicast, MPLS and Metro Ethernet protocol modules to create highly optimized solutions designed to accelerate time to market for specific industry segments. Each individual protocol module takes full advantage of the services and clean Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) of the ZebOS Network Platform to eliminate specific hardware, OS and middleware dependencies. Each protocol module is implemented as a distinct process to ensure robustness and future feature agility, while eliminating dependencies on other protocol modules.
ZebOS Hardware Services Layer (HSL)
The HSL is a software framework that reduces hardware integration complexity and cuts porting time in half by providing a standardized interface for application development. The HSL is pre-integrated with industry-leading merchant silicon and operating system combinations and provides a comprehensive forwarding plane implementation that supports L2, L3 (IPv4 and IPv6), Multicast and MPLS traffic engineering. When combined with the ZebOS Network Platform software for the control plane, the HSL offers a complete system solution for enterprise switching, Metro Ethernet, access, edge, mobile wireless and other advanced IP service applications.
ZebOS High Availability Solution
ZebOS High Availability solution provides the control plane redundancy necessary to meet the ever increasing need for higher network service availability.
