Traffic management chip
is key to router
Laurel Networks has integrated Agere's PayloadPlus traffic management and network processor semiconductor solution into its award-winning ST200 service edge router
The ST200, which has used Agere's chips since the product's introduction, has been deployed by telecommunications service providers in the USA, Europe and Asia to provide a wide range of switched and routed services. The flagship product of Laurel Networks, the ST200 service edge router is the only router designed from the ground up with the features required at the edge of a service provider Internet protocol/multiprotocol layer switch (MPLS) backbone.
