Wind River Introduces Tornado for Managed Switches 2.0 Industry's First Layer 3 Software Solution for Next-Generation Routers, Switches, Optical Networking and Broadband Access biz.yahoo.com <snip> Layer 3 switching technology is several orders of magnitude faster than traditional solutions, and an order of magnitude less expensive. First generation products were built with proprietary hardware (often ASICs) running proprietary software. A new, second generation of off-the-shelf chipsets is enabling a wider range of companies to build Layer 3 switches. It also allows existing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to add more features and functionality - moving up the value chain - while simultaneously lowering their development costs. Now for the first time, a commercially available software solution complements standards-based hardware for advanced networking capabilities. By providing a complete solution, TMS 2.0 is expected to find wide adoption in the emerging market for Layer 3 switches, a segment that The Dell'Oro Group forecasts to grow to $8.4 billion by 2004. </snip>
