The heart of the HRE is a custom ASIC (application specific integrated circuit), developed by Xylan in conjuncstallable into existing OmniSwitches. It will be available this month for $4,995. Xylan has also added three new routing protocols: OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) A routing protocol that determines the best path for routing IP traffic over a TCP/IP network based on distance between nodes and several quality parameters. (Open Shortest Path Firnodes or links. RIP II is an enhancement to RIP I and has several advantages over the earlier protocolputing and video conferencing. The OmniSwitch supports IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) The protocol that governs the management of multicast groups in a TCP/IP network. To sign up for a multicast group, a Host Membership Report is sent by a user's machine to its nearest routers, which forward that data to (Internet Group Management Protocol (protocol) Internet Group Management Protocol - (IGMP) An extension to the Internet Protocol, used by IP hosts to report their host group memberships to immediately-neighbouring multicast routers. See also MBONE. Version 1 of IGMP is defined in Appendix 1 of RFC 1112. ) 2.0, and DVMRP (Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol) The first popular routing protocol to support multicast. Stemming from RIP and used in the Internet's Mbone (multicast backbone), DVMRP allows for tunneling multicast messages within unicast packets. (Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol The Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) is used to share information between routers to transport IP Multicast packets among networks. It is based in the RIP protocol to forward packets: the router generates a routing table with the multicast group that ) 3.0. oduct platforms.
