DCL Ships IP Routing Software

LONDON -- Data Connection Limited (DCL), the leading supplier of high quality network protocol software, today shipped the initial release of DC-OSPF on schedule to several customers. The initial release of DC-OSPF includes a host of functions for next generation networks such as traffic engineering, constrained routing (CSPF), high levels of scalability (through distribution) and resilience. Additional releases are planned to further extend DC-OSPF, as well as to expand the IP routing suite to include DC-BGP and DC-ISIS. "Traditional IP routing is evolving rapidly, for example for traffic engineering, optical networks, VPNs and the inter-carrier exchange of routing metrics beyond simple reachability", stated Ben Miller, General Manager of DCL's MPLS, IP Routing and ATM business unit. "Our IP routing protocol suite is ideal for use in both cutting edge devices and traditional routers." Data Connection Ltd. (DCL)
