Laurel Networks Introduces Multiservice-over-MPLS Provisioning System

Laurel Networks, a start-up based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, introduced an integrated service provisioning and management system for its ST200 Service Edge Routers. The Laurel Provisioning System (LPS) provides multi-service over MPLS provisioning for ATM, Frame Relay, Ethernet Private Line service and IP VPNs using a point-and-click interface that integrates its Edge router with other carrier network equipment and existing OSS applications. The object oriented distributed LPS also provides fault management, data collection and resource utilization monitoring to assure SLA guarantees. A web-based Customer GUI enables a service provider's customers to monitor and self-provision services. Laurel is currently in trials with multiple service providers.

In June, Laurel Networks unveiled details of its forthcoming ST200 IP/MPLS service edge router. Key attributes of the system include a distributed architecture for all major routing and forwarding functions. It will offer per-customer routing tables, traffic shaping, class-based queuing and differentiated services (IETF DiffServ). An extensive range of hardware-based counters will collect the statistics needed by service providers to correlate service delivery with service billing. Each ST200 line card can simultaneously support any combination of DS-3 through OC-48 service running any type of protocol (Frame Relay, ATM, POS, PPP or TDM). Lab trials are currently underway. Commercial availability is expected in Q4.

Laurel Networks is headed by Atul Bansal, previously president of FORE Systems' Network Control Technology.

Since its founding in October 1999, Laurel Networks has raised $77 million in capital. Investors include New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Trinity Ventures, Worldview Technology Partners, WorldCom Venture Fund, Rein Capital, and CommVest.
