[linux-team] MRV Communications Inc. Introduces Industry's First High-Performance Linux Switch Router



Linux become really kicking in the InterNetworking world!

See:  http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/990406/ca_mrv_com_1.html

The OSR8000 is a Linux switch router in an 18-slot chassis with a
40-Gigabit-per-second routing fabric, frame and cell scheduling, and high speed
ASICs, supporting up to 26 million packets per second of throughput. A special
feature is the programmable ``Packet Flow Processors'' for smart networking
applications. These new features can be deployed without additional hardware
upgrades, saving customers time and resources. 

The OSR8000 is an 18-slot modular chassis with a 40-Gigabit per second routing
fabric, frame and cell scheduling, and high speed ASICs. Optional modules
provide a flexible selection of port density and speed with 128 x 10/100
Ethernet ports, 64 OC12 ports or 32 x 1Gbps ports. Future modules will include
128 ATM or POS OC3 ports and WDM and long-reach optics. 

To ensure high-end scalability, the Linux Operating System supports multiple
processors and also supports IPsec. The OSR8000 includes support for Quality of
Service, numerous security features, policy-based management, SNMP, RMON, VLANS,
IP CIDR and router clustering. 

It also includes a full suite of routing protocols and applications, including:
IP, RIP1/2, OSPF DHCP, ICMP, EGP, GDP, IRDP, IPX, MBR, IGMP, DVMRP, PIM, SAP,
NetBios, AppleTalk, DECnet, NAT and IP Masquerading.
