6WINDGate EDS and SDS software from
6WIND addresses telecom applications such
as wireless infrastructure. The EDS version
enables Fast Path implementation as a Linux
kernel module between the Linux networking
stack and the interface drivers. The SDS version
takes advantage of the Multi-Core Executive Environment (MCEE). Also, the EDS version
targets quad-core x86 processor platforms and
runs on platforms such as Cavium’s MIPS64-
based multicore Octeon family with Fast Path
support. 6WIND software incorporates dual-IP
control plane protocols, Slow Path and Fast Path
data plane modules with built-in IPv4-IPv6 routing,
security, quality of service (QoS), filtering,
multicast, mobility, and IPv4-IPv6 transition.
6WIND provides an XML-based management
system with continuous synchronization
between all planes.
