More information from Yahoo! "Business Case. The Red-C OSS offers opportunities for cost savings and increased revenues to the broadband service provider. Cost savings come from the ability to use one system to integrate multiple interfaces from broadband termination systems, to easily provision new users, to easily reconfigure users from one system to another and to offload routers. Increased revenues will come with offering value-added "pay-for" services. Currently most broadband network architectures have DSLAMs and CMTSs' connecting directly to their own routers or indirectly through ATM switches at the CO. The Red-C System can consolidate these interfaces with its ability to offer interfaces for any of the DSL or cable systems. The Red-C System provides ethernet, Frame Relay over T1, Frame Relay over ATM or ATM over DS3, or ATM over OC3. There can be multiple interfaces simultaneously to both DSLAMs and CMTSs'. The Red-C System can offload existing routers that may be performance bound at the CO by performing the processor intensive connection management functions of authentication and IP. Alternatively, with its mature OSPF and BGP-4 protocol support, the Red-C System can also perform the routing functions for smaller providers. Either way, the provider saves cost by not having to upgrade its router or by eliminating the need to buy an expensive router when setting up a new installation. If a provider has an easy way to provision new users or reconfigure users, costs are saved in time. The Red-C System uses subscriber records to identify the end users for the provider. There is a default record that can be used as the template for the new user. With an HTML interface, the record can easily be modified to add any special features for the new user. The system can support the recognition of new users and, *with an application that can be added to the open system* by the provider; a new user can be automatically added to the system."**
