IP INFUSION TO DEMONSTRATE ITS PORTABLE, PLATFORM INDEPENDENT IPv4 AND IPv6 ROUTING SUITE AT NETWORLD+INTEROP 2001 LAS VEGAS

May 4, 2001, San Jose, California - IP Infusion Inc., a leading supplier of portable networking software, today announced that it will be demonstrating its ZebOS Advanced Routing SuiteT (ZebOST), with support for both IPv4 and IPv6 routing, on its own network as well as part of the Interop network at NetWorld+Interop 2001 Las Vegas.

"IP Infusion will be one of the first vendors to demonstrate and deliver portable, platform independent IPv6 routing solutions on a number of platforms. We will show IPv6 and IPv4 versions of OSPF, BGP, and RIP on VxWorks, Unix, and various Internet devices," said Nick Keating, President and CEO of IP Infusion. "This will show that our ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite can be easily ported on a variety of platforms, operating systems, and processors. In addition, we will show that we can address both the current IPv4 and future IPv6 routing protocols in a single package."

ZebOS contains a unique, modular, multi-process architecture built around the ZebOS Network Services module. Protocol modules for OSPF, BGP, and RIP for both IPv4 and IPv6 communicate with the Network Services module to provide routing table information and updates. The Network Services module maintains a central routing information base, performs route conversion, route redistribution, and configuration management for the protocol modules. ZebOS has a platform-independent and modular architecture that allows all portions of the suite to be easily integrated into both switch and router platforms.

"Because we support both IPv4 and IPv6 versions of the industry standard routing protocols, we can address a range of embedded equipment markets, including both access, edge, and core devices," added Keating. "Vendors selecting ZebOS have access to the most advanced, IETF compliant routing software on the market."

ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite has been designed to interoperate with network equipment from Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks, and other popular network equipment manufacturers. SNMP MIB support is provided to enable network management, billing, and provisioning applications. It has been ported to a variety of platforms including: VxWorks, Linux, Solaris, and BSD.
