Edge router family employs Embedded Linux and IPv6 transition

May 9, 2001 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — views

Sunnyvale, CA — (press release excerpt) — InterNetShare Inc. today announced the availability of its All Aboard! Advanced Edge Router (AER) product family. AER provides the next-generation of secure, multi-media edge routing devices, and a built-in IPv6 transition environment. The product is offered as a complete hardware/software device for resellers, or as Portable Source Code for OEMs that want to… embed the technology into access point, gateway and edge-node devices, or as a complete device for ISPs. The Source Code is available for Linux, embedded Linux or other popular embedded operating systems.

Configured via a standard web browser, AER's encryption, firewall, multimedia, VPN and IPv4/IPv6 services provide connectivity for both the 'classic' IPv4 Internet, and a seamless transition to IPv6. Once installed, users never have to worry about transitioning network devices to IPv6. If users add IPv6-based LAN devices, AER will provide auto configuration and transparent connectivity as well. Users can preserve their investment in IPv4 devices already installed, and add IPv6-based systems to the same network segment with no interoperability issues — clean, simple, transparent networking.

AER is the first product to incorporate a complete IPv4 to IPv6 transition environment, coupled with encryption, secure VPN and multimedia services. The product also adds support for either remote or local web configuration, which allows ISPs to remotely add or delete services and diagnose customer issues, without expensive “truck rolls.” AER also includes connection request auto-sensing, which transparently determines whether a user is requesting IPv4 or tunneled IPv6-overIPv4 services. The user simply sees transparent connectivity, no matter where the resource is on the Internet or Virtual Private Network. AER is fully-compliant with all Internet standards, and incorporates the following technologies.

AER is available 30 days ARO. Source Code is licensed at $75,000 royalty-free, and the packaged solution has a quantity one list price of $2,995.
