A sophisticated product architecture.

The 5842 and 5844 Multiport Routers provide the following features:

•Support for a wide variety of WAN protocols such as PPP, Frame Relay, Multilink PPP, Multilink Frame Relay FRF.16.1, and MAC Learning Bridging for point-to-point and point- to-multipoint applications to the Internet, private or public Frame Relay networks

•Advanced IP / Frame Relay Router capabilities with:

•Standard-based IP-over-Frame Relay encapsulation, RFC-2427 compliant

•Link Management Interface (LMI): ANSI AnnexD, ITU Annex A, and FRF Rev 1.0

•Static and dynamic configuration of up to 1024 DLCIs

•Static and dynamic mapping of DLCI to IP Subnets using InverseARP

•Dynamic routing protocols RIP1, RIP2, OSPF, and optional BGP-4 (I-BGP and E-BGP)

•Dynamic load balancing, using OSPF or optional BGP-4 (I-BGP and E-BGP)

•Optional DiffServ-compliant QoS capabilities:

•Ability to assign maximum bandwidth to each traffic class

•Traffic metering, shapes or drops “out-of-profile” traffic

•Prevents lower classes of traffic from being bandwidth starved

•Enables QoS per routing interface in incoming and outgoing direction

•Novice user configuration with presets; advanced user to optimize resources and throughput; statistics reports on QoS
