Avici Systems Introduces IPriori 4.0 Software for Advanced MPLS Services and Unmatched Scalability.Business/Technology Editors SUPERCOMM 2001 Booth No. 4856 ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 2001 Improves Service Delivery and Strengthens Profit Models Avici Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: AVCI), the leader in scalable core routing solutions for intelligent IP-over-optical networks, today announced the immediate availability of its IPriori(TM) 4.0 software for its TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) Refers to a program that remains in memory when the user exits it in order that it be immediately available at the press of a hotkey. (R) scalable core router A router that resides within the middle or backbone of the network rather than at its periphery. The routers that make up the backbone of the Internet are core routers. See edge router and WAN router. . Avici's IPriori 4.0 enhancements enable carriers to deliver advanced services economically by providing standards-based, feature-rich software and unmatched scalability. Carriers are faced with many challenges including eroding profit models and slow service delivery as they try to increase profits with new service deployments. Avici's IPriori 4.0 features are designed to help carriers achieve lower operational costs, faster provisioning times and higher profits when building and operating converged service networks. Through IPriori 4.0, Avici has added Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS (1) (MultiProtocol Lambda Switching) The earlier name for GMPLS. See GMPLS. (2) (MultiProtocol Label Switching) A standard from the IETF for including routing information in the packets of an IP network. ) Label Distribution Protocol (LDP LDP - Linux Documentation Project ) to its previously released IPriori Resource Reservation Protocol (protocol) Resource Reservation Protocol - (RSVP) A protocol that supports quality of service. http://zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/news/0,4153,389107,00.html. for Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE RSVP-TE Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (MPLS) ), which allows service providers to support advanced Virtual Private Network (VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. ) services and MPLS traffic engineering across multi-vendor networks. Additional features include high-density Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for local loop services offering up to 320 ports per system, per-VPN policy definition (M-BGP) and MPLS Quality of Service (QoS) to support differentiated services such as video-on-demand, Voice over IP (VoIP) and VPNs. With IPriori 4.0, carriers can cost-effectively deploy scalable IP/MPLS IP/MPLS Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching backbones that support multi-service edge networks, enabling end-to-end MPLS and QoS services. This core network simplification allows carriers to focus valuable talent and capital on building networks based on open MPLS standards and generate new revenue streams with additional IP services. "Avici's support of MPLS with QoS is critical in providing carriers with a smooth migration to an MPLS-empowered IP network," said Chris Nicoll, vice president of telecom infrastructure at analyst firm Current Analysis. "MPLS with QoS enables carriers to ensure Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for high-priority MPLS services alongside legacy IP traffic." Steve Kaufman, president and chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. of Avici Systems said, "Carriers are focused on their bottom line and Avici offers them powerful economies of scale to drive down the cost of building and operating next-generation networks. Avici is the leader in scalable core routing and we are continually working to expand and enhance our technology solutions to help carriers bring new IP services to market." About Avici Systems Avici Systems Inc., headquartered in North Billerica, Mass., is a developer of next-generation Internet backbone platforms that optimize and drive creation of all-optical "speed-of-light" networks.
