For Techieeees LANNET's LANswitch Plus 3LS Multilayer Switch Routs Competition in Landmark Layer 3 Switch Tests; "Staggering Performance... Puts it in a League of its Own," Said TestersBusiness Wire - January 30, 1998 08:15 TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 30, 1998--LANNET's LANswitch Plus(TM) 3LS all-silicon multilayer switch swept a broad field of competitors to win the coveted "Tester's Choice" award in Data Communications magazine's comparative test of Ethernet Layer-three switches. LANNET's Multilayer switch achieved the highest scores on engineering-caliber performance tests conducted at McGraw-Hill's European Networking Laboratories in Paris. The results of the test were published as the magazine's November 1997 cover article. (To read the review in its entirety, go to www.data.com). The LANswitch Plus 3LS bested products from Bay, Cabletron, Cisco, Foundry, Nbase and Xylan to achieve what the editors called "staggering performance...." "The clear winner was the 3LS(TM) router blade. This device topped all but one of our tests with consistently low latency and jitter," said the testers. In the forwarding fairness test, the 3LS achieved a perfect score. This is significant because fairness is the core attribute for effective bandwidth distribution across congested enterprise networks. "We knew the LANNET multilayer technology would be a formidable competitor," said Brian Horn, Director of Product Marketing at LANNET. "Combined with the switch's other winning features, the 3LS sets the benchmark for Layer 3 switches, combining much of the functionality of routers with blistering switching speed."
