Azanda targets metro area network with OC-192 traffic management technology

Azanda Network Devices, a provider of silicon-based optical networking solutions for metropolitan area networks, announced its latest technology development: telecommunications ICs that perform traffic management, statistics collection and internetworking functions at 10 Gbps and above.

Targeted for different types of traffic received on up to one million flows in a router or switch system, Azanda's innovative architecture will provide customers with multi-service capability at wire-speed. Designed for line cards running at OC-192 and higher, Azanda's robust architecture features traffic shaping, policing and scheduling while providing multiple levels of Quality of Service (QoS).

Azanda's next-generation technology features extensive statistics collection with any-to-any functionality, such as any type of traffic on any input port, to any type of traffic on any output port. Their unique architecture also eliminates inherent difficulties and speed limitations of software-based network processor approaches and provides support for either cell-based or packet-based switch fabrics.
