PITTSBURGH -- Laurel Networks, Inc., the first provider of high-performance service edge routers, today announced ShadeTree 3.0, the latest release of the company's service-enabling system software for its ST200(TM) Service Edge Router.

ShadeTree 3.0 adds the industry's highest performance L2TP Network Server (LNS) for service providers offering broadband IP services, as well as LIVE (Laurel Instant VErsioning), the industry's first run-time hitless software upgrade capability. In keeping with Laurel's continuous delivery of new carrier services, ShadeTree 3.0 also adds VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service), a method for extending Transparent LAN Services across a common MPLS backbone.

"Only the ST200 Service Edge Router has been designed to continuously add new carrier services via our uniquely programmable hardware and software architecture," said Steve Vogelsang, VP of Marketing, Laurel Networks. "Since the introduction of the ST200, we have added MPLS Layer 2 and IP VPNs, ATM, Frame Relay, Ethernet and broadband services. In contrast, other service provider edge platforms require carriers to purchase dedicated hardware modules or entirely new platforms to support new service delivery."
