FORCE10 NETWORKS PARTNERS WITH INDUSTRIA TO BUILD ICELAND’S FIRST PURPOSE-BUILT 3G MOBILE NETWORK

SAN JOSE, Calif., September 5, 2007 – Force10 Networks®, the pioneer in building and securing reliable networks, today announced that it has partnered with broadband solutions provider Industria to build Nova, Iceland’s first purpose-built 3G mobile network. Industria’s Digital Living™ unit designed and built the network with its Zignal master control software suite and the Force10 TeraScale E-Series® family of switch/routers to enable Nova to deliver high value interactive entertainment services.

“During our initial research and business planning, we found that with a 3G network mobile operators like Nova can leverage the higher data throughput to bring high value, high bandwidth entertainment services to subscribers, increasing average revenue per user,” said Gudjon Gudjonsson, CEO at Industria. “Together, Industria and Force10 are enabling this advancement by providing the reliable network foundation and service delivery tools to enable Nova to build a 3G network from the ground up.”

Nova is deploying the Force10 TeraScale E-Series in the core of its transmission network to provide the high reliability and scalability required to support 3G differentiated services. Supporting 288 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the TeraScale E300 delivers the seamless scalability Nova requires to expand its network to deliver new services and support a growing subscriber base. Additionally, the unique architecture and robust FTOS software ensure the maximum network uptime that is essential for delivering entertainment services.

To provide entertainment services over its mobile network, Nova is using Industria’s Zignal master control software suite in conjunction with the Force10 TeraScale E-Series. Zignal enables Nova to deliver a wealth of video and other entertainment services that are accessible from a standard mobile handset.

“High user expectations of mobile video and other entertainment services require mobile service providers to operate a reliable and predictable network,” said Stephen Garrison, vice president of marketing at Force10 Networks. “In our partnership with Industria, we plan to bring the same combination of network reliability and video services to other providers throughout Europe, enabling them to capitalize on the revenue potential of mobile video services.”

Industria and Force10 will continue to build on the success of their partnership in Europe. The combination of Force10’s Reliable Networking product portfolio and Industria’s Digital Living™, a ready-to-run fiber connection to the home, delivers to broadband providers the tools they need to roll out new networks and services.

Reliable Networking by Force10 Networks delivers the reliability, network control and scalability required to ensure the network is service ready. By combining these three performance characteristics, service providers can future proof their networks and gain long-term investment protection.

IOS on Unix (IOU)

source http://evilrouters.net/2011/01/18/cisco-iou-faq/ What is IOU? From the Cisco Engineering Education web site (a long time ago): IOS on Unix (IOU) is a fully working version of IOS that runs as a user mode UNIX (Solaris) process. IOU is built as a native Solaris image and run just like any other program. IOU supports all platform independent protocols and features. What operating systems does IOU run on? It is my understanding that, initially, IOU was Solaris (SPARC) only. Nowadays, however, there are also builds for OS X and Linux. Similar to dynamips, IOU allows you to build out a network topology on a computer, without the need for physical routers. This is useful for validating designs, proof-of-concept testing, and certification self-study. Is my system compatible with IOU? You will need to be running the operating system that your IOU image were built for, obviously. Other than that, there are no special requirements to run IOU. It is not very CPU- or memory-intensive, unlik...

Impressed with Poly brand for conference headphones

I previously used my Sony XM4 headphones for calls and initially found them versatile for multiple purposes. However, as my meetings extended to several hours, I noticed they became less comfortable. To address this, I upgraded to wireless headphones from Poly, which offer significantly improved comfort. While I don’t plan to use them for music listening, my initial impression is very positive.

Flapping LDP/RSVP on Olive

I had a strange problem where the LDP and RSVP was flapping on JunOS/Olive and I think I managed to fix it by changing the driver from e1000 to i82559er and lo0.0 with 127.0.0.1.  I don't want to spend more time investigating it but if someone have similar problem at least this comment could be a good start. root@jr2>  *** MPLS *** May 21 14:27:21.472443 Session 4.4.4.4 hold timer expired in Operational state May 21 14:27:21.473451 Connection 4.4.4.4 state Open -> Closed May 21 14:27:21.473838 Session 4.4.4.4 GR state Operational -> Nonexistent May 21 14:27:21.473923 Session 4.4.4.4 state Operational -> Closing May 21 14:27:21.474054 LDP session 4.4.4.4 is down, reason: hold time expired May 21 14:27:21.474364 RPD_LDP_SESSIONDOWN: LDP session 4.4.4.4 is down, reason: hold time expired May 21 14:27:21.475567 Session 4.4.4.4 state Closing -> Nonexistent May 21 14:27:21.476180 CHANGE   317024 /52          nhid ...
