This enables
Ethernet clients to signal for dynamic connections , which the
SONET/SDH network provides, without requiring the client to be aware
of the underlying server layer network. Participating companies include Alcatel, Avici Systems,
Ciena Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc. The use of styles
sheets provides the ability to change the "look and feel " of the Web
interface to meet any specific requirements. The ZebOS Network Services Module (NSM ) is the
base module that simultaneously and independently communicates with every
ZebOS ARS routing and switching process and acts as the backbone of the ARS
software modules.
IP Infusion has extended its software to allow vendors to address a wide
variety of value-added IP services markets. IP Infusion continues to
develop network software solutions that provide equipment vendors with
building blocks to rapidly create modular and scalable high-performance
solutions around best-of-breed network hardware and software products from
vendors such as Intel, Broadcom, Wind River, and MontaVista.
