Gary - You asked what is the new world hardware? The answer is Vendors will build the equipment based on Open IP Environment. The first hardware will be available within 6 months. Because the routing protocols used in Open IP Environment are included in Windows NT and the upcoming Windows 2000, network security and quality of service can be extended across the Microsoft operating systems and networking equipment based on OIE, according to the vendors. Intel will work with Nortel to produce development tools that equipment vendors can use to build programmable networking equipment based on OIE and Intel's Internet Exchange architecture for network processors. informationweek.com
