Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. announced the completion of RaptorWare Release 2.3.3, which will significantly enrich the feature sets available on the entire family of Raptor Networks core switch products.
The feature improvements represented by this new software release make the Raptor value proposition to target markets all the more compelling. New capabilities in software include enhanced Quality of Service (class of service Queue mapping, color aware QoS) and differential services (enhanced QoS and COS mapping, L2 and L3/L4 ACL integration, and per-port egress rate limiting), enhanced routing features (IP multi-netting, proxy ARP, and traceroute), enhanced switching (IGMPv3 snooping per VLAN, port mirroring (many-to-many and many-to-one, port security), static multicast streams, full IP multicast protocol suite and secure web management and full SNMP solution to name just a few. Additionally, Raptor's proprietary RAST interconnect capability will be improved in the conduct of dynamic traffic management.
"The addition of these new feature sets to our already compelling price-performance proposition in distributed network switching is expected to open new market segments for Raptor products and services," noted Tom Wittenschlaeger, Chief Executive Officer of Raptor Networks. "In particular, the addition of IGMPv3 support makes Raptor Networks much more attractive in digital cable transport and emerging applications such as IPTV."
