6WIND Introduces New Solution for High Performance for Linux System


(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
6WIND, a provider of a networking software solution, announced a new
solution targeted at mid-range applications (2 to 4 cores) to provide
the highest L2/L3 performance for a pure Linux system.

According to company officials, based on Fast Path architecture, the
6WINDGate EDS software enables Fast Path implementation as a Linux
kernel module between the Linux networking stack and the interface
drivers.

"We've seen a number of customer successes with our middleware-style
solution that demystifies the complexities of designing applications
upon multi-core based equipment," commented Eric Carmes, CEO of 6WIND.
"The addition of 6WINDGate EDS to our portfolio nicely completes our
ability to provide solutions for any multi-core based equipment,
whether a telecommunications gateway or home gateway."

Distributed over Linux, 6WIND said its software incorporates the
market's first comprehensive dual-IP Control Plane protocols, Slow Path



and Fast Path Data Plane modules with built-in IPv4-IPv6 routing,
security, QoS, filtering, multicast, mobility, IPv4-IPv6 transition,
XML-based management, with continuous synchronization between all
planes. The Fast Path and Control Plane can be made modular - used
separately or in any way according to customer requirements.
