MQX Embedded and Interpeak Enhance Networking Support for MQX Developers.SANTA CRUZ, Calif. & STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Integration of the Interpeak Protocols and MQX(TM) RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. Enables Embedded Systems Developers to Rapidly Implement IPv6, IPsec and Other Secure Networking Technologies MQX Embedded(TM), a division of ARC International (LSE LSE - Language Sensitive Editor :ARK), and Interpeak, a pioneer of Internet and security protocol solutions for embedded systems, today announced that the companies are working together to ease the development of advanced networking applications for the companies' mutual customers. Under terms of a new agreement, all Interpeak's embedded networking products, including the IPNET and IPLITE network stacks, have been optimized to the industry-standard MQX RTOS. MQX Embedded will resell the integrated product along with Interpeak's networking protocols and security products to customers in North America, Europe and Asia. MQX Embedded also will manage front-line support for customers who use the optimized Interpeak products. IPv6 is a new version of the Internet protocol that supports a much higher number of addresses, using a 128-bit addressing scheme. Additionally, IPv6 offers advanced addressing features, including multicast and anycast addressing. Leveraging Interpeak's IPv6 technology, MQX RTOS customers will be able to build secure, Internet-connected embedded systems for sale in markets that use or plan to use the new protocol. Target applications include SOHO Soho (sōhō`, sə–), district of Westminster, London, England, known for its continental restaurants. Once a fashionable quarter, it became popular among writers and artists in the 19th cent. routers, broadband access, IP telephones, network storage, online gaming consoles, military communications and wireless access points. "Interpeak's broad spectrum of networking protocols strengthens the industry-standard MQX RTOS for applications with high-end networking requirements," said Craig Slayter, vice-president of the MQX Embedded division of ARC International. "By using our fully optimized and integrated technologies, MQX customers can save months of development effort. Interpeak is the latest industry leader to recognize the growing appeal of the MQX RTOS and join our growing number of partners who offer must-have technology for key embedded applications." "Next-generation networked devices will contain IPv6 capabilities due to requirements for increased security and new IP addresses," added Johan Fornaeus, chief executive officer of Interpeak AB. "Our dual-mode protocol stack technology, together with the MQX RTOS, creates a powerful IPv4/v6 networking solution that is ready for the robust communications needs of secure and reliable embedded devices." About Interpeak's IPNET and IPLITE Technology IPNET provides complete IPv4 and IPv6 networking solutions, supporting multiple network interfaces, NAT, PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The most popular method for transporting IP packets over a serial link between the user and the ISP. Developed in 1994 by the IETF and superseding the SLIP protocol, PPP establishes the session between the user's computer and the ISP using , built-in routing tables, VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network tagging, Quality of Service and built-in advanced IP Security (IPsec). IPLITE provides a small and compact dual IPv4/v6 protocol stack configurable from 17 KB of memory for embedded systems requiring a small footprint. IPsec is optionally available for IPLITE. Both stack offerings have additional network applications available such as Telnet, FTP, TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) A lightweight version of the FTP protocol that has no directory browsing or password capability. Employing UDP rather than TCP for transport, TFTP is typically used to transfer firmware upgrades to network equipment such as , DNS (Domain Name System) A system for converting host names and domain names into IP addresses on the Internet or on local networks that use the TCP/IP protocol. For example, when a Web site address is given to the DNS either by typing a URL in a browser or behind the and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Software that automatically assigns temporary IP addresses to client stations logging into an IP network. It eliminates having to manually assign permanent "static" IP addresses. DHCP software runs in servers and routers. , along with L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) A protocol from the IETF that allows a PPP session to travel over multiple links and networks. L2TP is used to allow remote users access to the corporate network. , LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) A protocol used to access a directory listing. LDAP support is implemented in Web browsers and e-mail programs, which can query an LDAP-compliant directory. , NAT, PPPoE, RIPv2, SNTP, Web server, secure Web server (1) A server on the Web that supports one or more of the major security protocols such as SSL, SHTTP and PCT. This means that order form data from your browser is encrypted before being sent (uploaded) to the Web site, making it extremely difficult for a third party to decipher , MobileIP and SNMPv1/2c/3. Additional security protocols such as Radius, Firewall, SSH, SSL and IKE are also available, as well as products to enable wireless network communication. Availability MQX RTOS with Interpeak's IPNET and IPLITE network stacks is available today from MQX Embedded. Interpeak products are bundled and licensed by MQX under the names MQX IPNETv6, MQX IPNETv4, MQX IPLITEv6, MQX IPLITEv4, MQX IPLITEv6 Secure and MQX IPLITEv4 Secure.
