Redback Adds Session Level Reliability

Redback Networks introduced a Session Level Reliability capability designed to provide uninterrupted broadband Internet sessions for voice, video, online multi-player games and other applications.



The new capability is built into the latest release of the operating system for Redback's SmartEdge Service Gateway and is designed to ensure that ongoing individual broadband subscriber sessions will not be dropped or interrupted in the event of a hardware failure. The system is designed so that if an error is encountered, sessions are seamlessly transferred to a redundant route processor without interrupting the session.



"A new standard for Internet session reliability is crucial as the Internet evolves from a system of simple, best effort connectivity to one of premium services and continuous delivery," said Shailesh Shukla, vice president of marketing and business development for Redback Networks. http://www.redback.com
