| Unicoi Releases TCP/IP Networking Stack with Support for VLANs Unicoi Systems has announced the release of version 8.1 of the Fusion TCP/IP networking stack. This latest release represents a major upgrade for the networking stack, and includes support for IEEE 802.1Q Virtual LANs (VLANs). The IEEE's 802.1Q standard was developed to deal with critical network issues such as the efficient use of bandwidth, flexibility, performance and security. VLANs help network administrators address the problem of how to divide large networks into more manageable parts to prevent broadcast and multicast traffic from consuming excessive bandwidth. The standard also provides improved security between internal network segments. Fusion TCP/IP v8.1 offers network administrators and CPE developers numerous benefits, including the ability to: - Create virtual network interfaces enabling the segregation of network traffic into VLANs based on IP routing - Run multiple virtual interfaces over a single physical interface - Provide each virtual interface with one or more IP addresses of its own, which can be obtained from DHCP servers in the corresponding VLAN - Operate PPPoE, IPsec, IPv6 and other protocols over 802.1Q VLANs, enabling true virtual networking Developed from the ground up for embedded systems, the Fusion networking stack is a highly portable protocol solution written in 100% ANSI C language, and is processor, operating system and compiler independent. The Fusion net stack supports IPv6 and can be easily ported to any processor, DSP or RTOS. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
