Anagran is an early stage communications company in the process of developing a next generation Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) IP Router. Anagran will enable high quality voice and video, load balance among users, achieve high throughput TCP especially critical over long distances and allow fairness of broadband utilization. The name Anagran comes from old Persian Zoroastrian tradition, where it means Endless Light. It is also the name of the last day of the Zoroastrian month , when exceptionally good things will happen.«Less

| Description: | Since Larry Roberts led the ARPANET design team almost 40 years ago to build the first wide-area packet switched network, basic packet routing and forwarding architectures have remained unchanged. During that same 4-decade span, the nature of the information transmitted and shared over The Internet has evolved dramatically. Finally, Anagran has developed a powerful, economical standard Layer 3 product platform truly designed for today's and tomorrow's video-dominated rich media network traffic - the FR-1000 Intelligent Flow Manager. Designed without the constraints of traditional packet-based architecture principles to economically transport video and rich quad-play traffic, the FR-1000 features a number of unique technological advances in standard Layer 3 IP networking. These key innovations include Fast Flow Technology™ (FFT), Intelligent Flow Discard™ (IFD), and Behavioral Traffic Control™ (BTC). Compact, powerful, and extremely energy-efficient and cost-effective, the FR-1000 represents a new class of network edge device that instantly reduces ongoing operations and transmission costs as well as capital equipment expense. The FR-1000 is drop-in compatible with any other standard IP networking nodes, supports up to 4,000,000 simultaneous flows at 96 gigabits per second wire-speed throughput, and delivers the following benefits to service providers and enterprise network operators: * Instant Network Congestion Relief: Adding an FR-1000 wherever network congestion occurs eliminates congestion to instantly improve application performance and service quality. Downstream routers perform better. * High Quality of Experience for Streaming Media: When loss-susceptible traffic like IPTV and VoIP overload their capacity, packet discard creates noise, jitter, and freeze-frame in all flows. IFD selectively invokes call admission control (CAC) on specific flows only; either the lowest priority or the most recent, for sustained high quality voice and video even during periods of intense user demand. * Bulk Data and P2P Management: Managing flow rates by service class with BTC throttles bandwidth-hungry traffic like P2P to allow all services (including P2P!) to flourish even when network links become congested. * Powerful Traffic Inspection and Awareness: Real-time capture of all flow statistics enables inspection, logging, and analysis for all traffic in the network. Find out what is really happening in your network. * Improved Performance: Fast Flow Technology improves trunk utilization by up to 300% while adding zero incremental delay. For the first time, bandwidth utilization is maximized without adding any latency. * Significant Cost Savings: Bandwidth needed to connect data/content sources to the network can be reduced by 2:1-3:1. Compact, high-performance 1RU form factor saves space and lowers equipment costs. Eco-friendly low power consumption (300 watts) minimizes heat dissipation and ongoing operating costs. |
