* Monster 92T bit/sec router designed to take back market share At long last, Cisco rolled out the giant core router for carriers known for years as “HFR.” Only it’s got a real name now: CRS-1, and it’s a monster. Scalable to 92T bit/sec. It also features the first 40G bit/sec OC-768c interfaces on a carrier router as well as a new modular operating system designed specifically for carriers. Cisco’s hoping the CRS-1 can reverse a two-year slide in core router market share. http://www.nwfusion.com/edge/news/2004/0525ciscohfr.htmlAt long last, Cisco rolled out the giant core router for carriers known for years as “HFR.” Only it’s got a real name now: CRS-1, and it’s a monster.

The acquisition would give Lucent Telica’s Plexus 9000 Media Gateway, PLUS Signaling Gateway and PLUS Media Gateway Controller. The Telica Plexus 9000 is one of the largest media gateways, and a large gateway is something Lucent lacked and large carrier customers need, analysts say. Lucent is also hoping the addition of gateways to its Accelerate VoIP product portfolio will earn the company a larger share of the VoIP equipment market – which IDC projects will top $15 billion by 2007 – and make it more competitive against rival Nortel, which has seen greater success in the IP telephony market. https://www.nwfusion.com/edge/news/2004/0524telica.htmlMCI is making it possible for users to upgrade to IP while maintaining their investment in legacy technology with the second phase of its Secure Internet Gateway service. The service, called VPN Network Gateway, lets private IP, frame relay, ATM and IP VPN customers communicate securely as if they are on one network. The carrier has deployed gateways between its traditional data, public IP and Multi-protocol Layer Switching networks to provide users with one unified WAN despite disparate network connectivity at multiple sites. https://www.nwfusion.com/edge/news/2004/0527mcisig.html Related content how-to Doing tricks on the Linux command line Linux tricks can make even the more complicated Linux commands easier, more fun and more rewarding.
