IP Infusion To Demonstrate ZebOS Software Routing Solutions At Networld+Interop 2003 Tokyo

July 1, 2003, San Jose, California - IP Infusion, a leading provider of intelligent network software for enhanced IP services, today announced that it will demonstrate its line of ZebOS® routing product suites in collaboration with Mitsui & Co., Ltd, at Networld+Interop 2003 Tokyo, being held July 2-July 4, 2003 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. The demonstration will show the integration of the ZebOS Server Routing Suite (SRS), a binary routing application for server routing solutions as well as the ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite (ARS), a source code solution for communications equipment vendors, with various hardware devices for IPv6 and MPLS networks. Visit IP Infusion in Hall 1, Booth 1G20 to see the ZebOS demonstration or in the IPv6 Showcase to see the ZebOS software running live in the interoperability verification lab.

With a primary focus on software routing solutions, the demo will feature the ZebOS SRS running on hardware devices ranging from hand-held Linux servers, like the Plat’ Home OpenBlockS that demonstrates MPLS networks for the IP-VPN solution, to high-end network appliances, like the Fujitsu IP-Processor that demonstrates the VRRP functionality for high availability of routers. HP Proliant and NEC Express5800 servers, running ZebOS SRS, will also be on display. In addition, network devices, including a multi-layer switch by NEC; a broadband access server by Hitachi Communication Technologies; and an edge router by Furukawa Electric, all integrated using the ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite will be shown.

“Networld+Interop Tokyo provides the ideal venue for IP Infusion to showcase its advanced IPv6 and server routing technology,” said Nick Keating president and CEO of IP Infusion. “Japan has accelerated the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 and we are pleased to demonstrate the interoperability of our ZebOS Server Routing Suite in the IPv6 Showcase. The ZebOS Server Routing Suite, a scalable solution for access router, security and high availability applications, is derived from our source code offering with all its rich features and years of embedded development and testing.”

The enterprise-class ZebOS Server Routing Suite can transform any Linux or Solaris server into an advanced routing platform through its sophisticated array of RIP, BGP, OSPF, and PIM-SM routing protocols and MPLS-VPN switching capabilities. The ZebOS Server Routing Suite also provides detailed syslog and debug logging and SNMP management support.
