RiverDelta Networks Named Hot Start-Up by Telecommunications Magazine; Broadband Networking Startup To Receive Prestigious Industry Award at SUPERCOMM 2001 Event.Business/Technology Editors TEWKSBURY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 2001 RiverDelta Networks, Inc., the leading provider of carrier-class broadband routing, switching, and service management solutions, today announced that the company has been chosen by Telecommunications(R) magazine to receive a 2001 Hot Start-Up Award. The 2001 Hot Start-Up Award selection is made by the editors of Telecommunications Magazine and is based on a company's potential to make a significant impact in the communications industry communications industry, broadly defined, the business of conveying information. Although communication by means of symbols and gestures dates to the beginning of human history, the term generally refers to mass communications. . The award will be presented at a breakfast awards ceremony on Tuesday, June 5th at the SUPERCOMM 2001 trade show in Atlanta. "It appears the one-box solution for MSOs is here," said Sue O'Keefe, editor in chief of Telecommunications magazine. "By combining the functions of a CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) A computerized device that enables cable modems to send and receive packets over the Internet. It inserts IP packets from the Internet into MPEG frames and transmits them to the cable modems via an RF signal. , edge router Also called an "access router," it is a router that sits at the periphery of a network. Contrast with "core router," which is a router that resides in the middle of the network. See router and WAN router. See also edge device. and aggregation switch on one platform, RiverDelta has truly set a new mark for vendors looking to play in this space." "This prestigious award from such a well-respected publication is tremendous recognition of the accomplishments made by the team here at RiverDelta Networks in the development and delivery of products for the broadband carrier markets," said Dave Callan
Innovative CARRIER-CLASS System Architecture The RiverDelta Networks flagship product A primary product of a company, which is typically why the company was founded and/or what made it well known. For example, MS-DOS, Windows and the Microsoft Office suite have been flagship products of Microsoft. CorelDRAW is a flagship product of Corel Corporation. , the Broadband Services Router(TM) 64000 (BSR BSR Business for Social Responsibility BSR Baltic Sea Region BSR British Society for Rheumatology BSR Bootstrap Router (networking) BSR Bonsoir (French) BSR Bottom-Simulating Reflector 64000), sets new performance benchmarks through its innovative use of a next-generation system architecture that combines centralized routing/switching modules with distributed high-performance packet filtering/forwarding/flow management modules. Unlike traditional software based IP switch/routers, the BSR 64000 can process packets at line rate with little-to-no performance degradation. This architecture--which scales to OC-192 speeds and beyond--enables carriers to tailor the BSR 64000 to meet their current needs and to incrementally add capacity as service demands increase. The BSR 64000 supports carrier-class routing protocols as well as sourced-based distributed policy routing and Multi-Protocol Label Switching (networking) label switching - A routing technique that uses information from existing IP routing protocols to identify IP datagrams with labels and forwards them to a modified switch or router, which then uses the labels to switch the datagrams through the network. (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. ), which provides scalability as operators add new services, subscribers and partners to their network. Based on open systems standards, the BSR 64000 is Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (communications, networking) Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification - (DOCSIS) ITU-approved interface requirements for cable modems involved in high-speed data distribution over a cable television network. (DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) A cable modem standard from the CableLabs research consortium (www.cablelabs.com), which provides equipment certification for interoperability. ) 1.0 qualified, EuroDOCSIS 1.0 qualified, designed based on DOCSIS 1.1, EuroDOCSIS 1.1 and PacketCable specifications and features an integrated Cable Modem Termination System A cable modem termination system or CMTS is equipment typically found in a cable company's headend, or at cable company hubsite and is used to provide high speed data services, such as cable internet or Voice over IP, to cable subscribers. (CMTS). SMARTFLOW QoS RiverDelta's SmartFlow packet-classification system, implements hierarchical per-flow queuing, which enables the BSR 64000 to apply QoS parameters, isolate traffic, enforce SLAs and provide detailed metering statistics. The BSR 64000 implements it's QoS processing in hardware so QoS policies are applied to individual flows at wire speed to significantly reduce latency. This ability allows cable operators to automatically recognize source traffic, match the traffic to the appropriate provider, supply distributed, policy-based routing and apply QoS treatments in real time.
