Laurel Offers Broadband Remote Access Server Software

Laurel Networks introduced a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) software module for its ST200 Service Edge Router. Laurel features a Service Separation and Blending (SSB) capability that enables its ST200 to provide per-service queuing and shaping needed to guarantee delivery of delay-sensitive multimedia applications and high-speed Internet services on a single connection. Unlike traditional BRAS platforms, ST200 provides the routing/switching intelligence needed to separate packet streams across multiple content networks. The SSB uses QoS to blend packets from multiple services downstream over a single broadband customer connection. Switching and routing separate upstream traffic to different content or service providers. Laurel said its BRAS solution supports over 100,000 broadband sessions with classification, filtering, IP VPNs, multicast and QoS features enabled. Trials are underway with multiple broadband service providers.
