TORONTO (Reuters) - Telecommunications equipment maker Nortel Networks Corp. (NYSE:NT - news) Tuesday unveiled a new networking technology for the Internet which it said will avoid information traffic jams caused by ``Old World' routers. The Toronto-based company touted its OPTera Packet Solution as a ``breakthrough' that will unite optical and packet networks into a single infrastructure that can carry all types of traffic. ``It will provide lightning fast, highly reliable optical switching and routing capabilities that replace `Old World' routers responsible for 57 percent of all Internet failures today, and deliver massive bandwidth where and when it is needed,' Nortel said.
