Routing and Switching Software Protocol Stacks
Routing and switching are two core functions of any communications network. More than 100 products deployed globally by leading manufacturers have leveraged our key routing and switching protocols, functional modules, and interfaces. Using these individually licensable software protocol stacks, telecom equipment manufacturers can de-risk and future proof advancements in their product lines.
