Procket Networks released an operating system upgrade for its PRO/8801 and PRO/8812 routing platforms, offering new capabilities in system management, network security, and system availability. Procket said one of its main competitive differentiators is that its PRO/1 software enables each routing protocol to run independently, allowing memory protection for greater stability and uptime. Key feature additions in Procket’s PRO/1 Modular Service Environment Release 2.3:
- support for Ethernet and Ethernet VLAN pseudo wires
- support for comprehensive IPv6 routing protocols, including static routing, OSPFv3, IS-IS for IPv6, BGP4 for IPv6, and RIPng
- a Fast-Reroute (FRR) enhancement
- Hardware support for Bidirectional PIM (“Bi-Dir PIM”)
- BGP soft-reconfiguration inbound
- File commit candidate-configuration confirmed
- Encrypting Username Passwords
