IP Infusion's latest ZebOS version features interface software that maps IP Infusion's NPapi control plane to the Intel® Control Plane Platform Development Kit (CP-PDK). The NPapi supports route table creation, call back functions, and adding and deleting table entries for IPv4 and IPv6. Using the NPapi, hardware manufacturers can easily develop a communication interface between their network processors and ZebOS protocol modules. Additionally, ZebOS delivers a broad set of Layer 2 and 3 products that are portable to the Intel network processors. Layer 2 products include Spanning Tree Protocol, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, 802.1x Port Authentication, and VLANs; Layer 3 products include IPv4, IPv6, Multicast, MPLS, Traffic Engineering, DiffServ, and VPN protocols.
