Open IP environment delivers new Internet enabling capabilities

Building on its leadership position in solutions for the local Internet, Nortel Networks has announced the availability of Open IP Environment 2.1, the latest version of its full-featured, platform-independent Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure applications suite.

"Open IP Environment software Internet-enables personal and network devices ranging from personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other computing and information appliances to set-top boxes and carrier-grade digital switching systems," says Sirshem Moodley, Technical Operations Officer at Nortel Networks South Africa.

"A modular platform, Open IP Environment allows developers to select only the software required for particular applications, including Quality of Service (QoS), management, security, routing, authentication, encapsulation, tunneling, policy management, network management and accounting", he adds.

Open IP Environment 2.1 enables shorter product development time and lower development costs, speeding time-to-market and providing OEMs, system integrators and developers greater opportunities for competitive advantage.

The new version builds on previously released Open IP Environment 2.0 by introducing more than 30 new modules, including networking protocols for OSPF (open shortest path first).
