IP Infusion Announces IP Routing Suite Support for Intel’s
Next Generation Network Processors
Intel Developer Forum, San Francisco, Calif., February 26, 2002
– IP Infusion, a leading provider of advanced networking software
for the development of next generation communications, networking
and wireless equipment, announced today that its Advanced Routing
Suite will support Intel’s new IXP425, IXP2400 and IXP2800
network processors. IP Infusion’s software will provide Intel’s
current and next generation network processor family with full IPv4
routing protocol support for OSPF, BGP, and RIP; insuring that equipment
vendors that use the Intel network processor family can rapidly
integrate leading edge control plane routing software.
“IP Infusion has worked closely with Intel to support our
IPv4 routing protocols on their current line of Intel IXP1200 network
processors,” said Nick Keating, President and CEO of IP Infusion.
“This work has paid off in bringing to market fully integrated
control-data plane components that allow access, edge, and core
equipment manufacturers to rapidly deliver solutions to a variety
of markets. IP Infusion is now working with Intel to integrate our
IPv6 routing protocols onto the current and new line of network
processors. This will position us well in the enterprise, provider
edge, mobile base station, storage area networking, access device
markets.”
“Intel provides a software building block capability that
allows control-plane solutions, such as IP Infusion’s Advanced
Routing Suite to be integrated into our current and future network
processing platforms,” said Alan Crouch, Director of Network
Platforms, Intel Labs. “This provides users of Intel network
processor solutions with pre-integrated and pre-tested routing components
and further reduces the time to develop solutions for a range of
markets.”
IP Infusion designs, develops, and markets the Advanced Routing
Suite, which is based on a unique, modular, multi-process architecture
featuring control-plane components that provide route redistribution
and conversion, management services, and an OS/processor abstraction
layer for routing and switching modules. In this architecture, IPv4
and IPv6 Protocol Modules for OSPF, BGP, and RIP provide routing
table information and updates. MPLS Modules for LDP and the MPLS
Forwarder also use the control-plane components for central management
and routing integration. This advanced IP routing suite can be used
in embedded equipment and as a route server on standard server platforms.
