The NETWORK Advantage

Networking-ready IP middleware combining data plane packet processing with control plane signaling protocols for routing, mobility, QoS, security and IPv4-IPv6 transition
Pre-integrated and ready-to-run on single core CPUs to high-performing network processors

Networking-Ready IP middleware

To support converging technologies, media and services, routing alone is no longer enough.  6WINDGate™ software suites are conceived to enable rich and intricate dual protocol interoperability and networking to provide the same level of services for IPv4 and IPv6 infrastructure or systems.  This includes unicast and multicast routing, QoS, as well as network security and mobile IP.  Our software technology incorporates the industry's most comprehensive set of IPv4-IPv6 transition mechanisms available.  Click here for 6WIND's milestones in IPv6.

Tested and field-proven, 6WINDGate™ software the market's leading IP middleware to address inevitable co-existence of dual internet protocols within legacy network infrastructures and future-proof scalability for "always-on" broadband services.  Unlike traditional protocol stack approach, the integration of packet processing functions (Data Plane) with signaling protocols (Control Plane) is fully assured.

Scalable to Hardware Performance

6WINDGate™ software features are packaged into two scalable software suites and adapted to different types of multi-services networking products or systems with specific performance requirements.  Both offer matching functionalities and are differentiated by the processor architecture upon which it has been ported and validated.  This way, customers are able to migrate their product design from a CPU-based platform to a distributed fast-path processor platform without having to re-learn the whole process, extending their product range quickly to meet market needs.
