Customizable stack targets Linux-based routing devices
Mar 1, 2007 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — viewsTeamF1 is offering a customizable routing software stack for Linux that targets gateway applications in the SMB (small-medium business) market. The Secure Gateway Solution (SGS) stack supports PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and other architectures, and comprises a configurable mix of VPN (virtual private networking), firewall, router, and interface components.
TeamF1 says it designed the SGS for OEMs/ODMs (original equipment/design manufacturers) wishing to market low-cost, risk-free, differentiated, leading edge devices. The design is described as “preintegrated,” and “production-ready,” with a range of core components and user interface components for customers to choose from.

Mukesh Lulla, CEO, stated, “The customizable options available with our Secure Gateway Solution stand in direct contrast to the monolithic software packages previously available. OEMs can now specify customized target applications — from drivers for custom hardware, networking and security features, all the way up to branded end-user management interfaces — and have them delivered in a very short time.”
TeamF1 describes SGS as the first available product in a new “SMBware” line that will ultimately include management, security, and even operating system components.
Availability
TeamF1's Secure Gateway Solution is available now, for Linux and VxWorks OSes, under royalty-free source licensing options described as “flexible.” Supported architectures and chips include AMCC and Freescale PowerPC, Cavium OCTEON CN30xx, Intel IXP4xx, and “other MIPS and ARM families of processors,” TeamF1 says.
