BTexact study defines global carriers' IP router requirements.Business & High-Tech Editors LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2002 BTexact Technologies announces completion of study to define carrier requirements for core IP routing platforms and invites vendors to participate in evaluation BTexact Technologies, BT's advanced research and technology business, today announced the completion of a comprehensive study of carrier requirements for core IP routing platforms. The study combines expertise and research from BTexact with the results of a survey of network architects at leading global carriers. BTexact is now inviting suppliers to have their equipment evaluated against their customers' requirements. The study was developed in response to growing customer demand. It is widely recognized that sterile one-dimensional tests do not accurately reflect the demands placed upon routers in a carrier's network. This study identifies the performance requirements of a router to meet the stresses of a multi-protocol operational environment.

Graham Reid (born April 9, 1964 in Redcliffe, Queensland) is a former field hockey defender and midfielder from Australia, who was a member of , director of the engineering practice at BTexact Technologies, said: "This study gives a clear indication of the requirements of today's carriers. It identified reliability, scalability and performance, as the three primary design attributes required of 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. platforms. "By working with BTexact to evaluate new technology customers can measure themselves against an objective benchmark and assess very quickly and efficiently whether their equipment meets the market requirements. The survey findings will ensure that the evaluation process can be accelerated for potential customers." Graham concluded: "To test or evaluate any area of technology, you need to have the right experience, the right people, the right partners and the right facilities.
