''One of the main concerns for network managers in adopting any new internetworking technology is the cost associated with the disruption of network services due to incompatibility with existing network architecture. With the AcceleRouter(tm), we are not only selling performance, we are also selling peace of mind. True autoconfiguration, coupled with unique capabilities to extend the router's security, ensures network managers a complete and pain-free network upgrade,'' said Yechiel Kurtz, NBase-Xyplex's Vice President of Product Marketing, International Division. ''In addition to performance, the AcceleRouter(tm) enhances an enterprise environment through its ability to process information embedded at any layer within the packet. Hardware support for emerging Quality of Service (QoS) technologies such as Differential Services (DiffServ), allow the evolution of enterprise networks while leveraging and protecting current architectures,'' added Philippe Szwarc, NBase-Xyplex's CEO. There are 7 layers in the OSI model of Networking, which everyone uses. From top to bottom these are: Application Presentation Session Transport Network (where traditional routing occurs) Data-Link (where traditional switching occurs) Physical (used to be dumb copper/fiber. No more. Now we have optical Inernetworking done here) This product says it can handle all 7 layers (like a gateway). 100 times the performance of CSCO, BAY software based routers, etc Peace of mind - no compatability issues Probably priced less than CSCO, BAY too Added to all their other products The speed comes from integrating the software to ASICs (which I predicted they would do). Niche vendor no more. You tell me.
