Unicast IP Routing
IP routing protocols have been an essential element of IP networks for
many years. However more recently, this technology has been the focus
of new development, as routing has evolved to handle the needs of next
generation networks. Traditional IP routing protocols have therefore
been substantially extended in a number of areas.
Metaswitch provides a full range of high-function portable Unicast IP Routing
software products, including BGP, IS-IS(-TE),
OSPF(-TE) and RIP, with options available for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
It also provides a compatible range of Multicast IP Routing
products, including PIM
and IGMP/MLD.
Applications
These IP Routing protocol stacks have been designed from the outset to
support the most demanding applications.
