Fall Voice On The Net 2002

ADVISORY...

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHO:              Netrake Corporation is based in Plano, Texas, and is
                  deploying unrivaled scale, dynamic control
                  and unparalleled performance in its single system,
                  the nCite(TM)IP Session Controller.

WHAT:             The ability to securely interconnect public and
                  private networks - enterprise to service provider
                  and any other combination therein -- at the native
                  IP level is a technology breakthrough. Service
                  providers cannot deliver this functionality with
                  existing telecom infrastructure equipment and
                  require a new breed of systems called Session
                  Controllers.

                  There are a number of reasons service providers need
                  and demand Session Controller functionality. At Fall
                  VON and SIP Summit, Netrake will explain the
                  importance of these new developments and how it can
                  greatly improve IP communications. Netrake's
                  executive team will deliver this detail in the
                  following four key speaking engagements:

                --  "Industry Update" on IP Session Controllers and

ABOUT
NETRAKE           Netrake is delivering breakthrough IP network
                  processing systems that resolve complex service
                  delivery problems through a series of fundamental
                  developments in network processors and the
                  architecture of IP systems. The ability to
                  intelligently process high-speed sessions in
                  real-time is unique to Netrake's nCite system and
                  is the key to enabling peering and application-based
                  services. Netrake's scalable, session-based system
                  handles complex voice and data applications and
                  resolves several crucial functions for VoIP:
                  Firewall Firewall/NAT (Network Address Translation),
                  CAC (Call Admission Control), Session Detail Records
                  (SDRs) - equivalent to Call Detail Records (CDRs)
                  from the PSTN, and QoS. Netrake is a privately held
                  company, funded by Austin Ventures, Trinity
                  Ventures, and Agave Capital. Co-founded by industry
                  authority Vic Bennett, (inventor of the Agere
                  Network Processor), Netrake is headquartered in
