EcoRouter IP/MPLS routers

Main article: Routers (global market)

IP/ MPLSrouters RDP.RU - designed to perform critical functions in carrier networks at aggregation, distribution, kernel, network boundary (ASBR) levels.

2019: The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia assigned the status of TORP to the router EcoROUTER

IPMPLS router Universal/ER-216 series, developed by the company on the RDP.RU platform EcoROUTER received the status telecommunication of equipment Russian of origin (TORP). More details here [1]

According to information for April 2019, the EcoROUTER series routers are multi-purpose modern devices with support for a wide range of technologies - both traditional IP routing and MultiProtocol label Switching (MPLS). EcoROUTER is positioned not as a niche product, but as a router of the widest range of applications. A high level of compatibility allows you to successfully use these routers to import similar products from leading world manufacturers: Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks, Huawei Technologies, etc.

With support for the PTP v2 synchronization protocol, you can build MBH (Mobile Backhaul) class networks based on EcoRouter routers.

EcoROUTER performance is up to 25 million packets/s, and the amount of RAM allows you to work with large routing tables (up to 5 million routes in FIB).

2016: Presentation of EcoRouter (ER) - Universal IP/MPLS Router

In November 2016, РДП.ру (Research & Development Partners) introduced its EcoRouter (ER) product - a universal IP/MPLS router.

This is a multi-purpose device with support for almost all popular protocols: LDP, LDP-PW, IS-IS, OSPF, IGMP, PIM-SM, BGP. The equipment can be used at all levels: aggregation, distribution, cores, network boundaries.

The main technical innovation that distinguishes ER series routers from foreign counterparts is the built-in technology of container virtualization. It allows you to run any number of third-party applications and additional network services on a single device: AntiVirus/AntiSpam, IDS/IPS, building secure tunnels using IPSEC encryption or GOST 28147-89.

Thus, two ER routers (one hosts the core of the network, the other works as a BGP-border) in combination with another device manufactured by РДП.ру - EcoNAT3in1 provide all the necessary functionality of the carrier. As a result, the operator can build a central communication node entirely from Russian components, while reducing the equipment pool to only three units (or to six in a fail-safe configuration). This gives tangible savings in funds and energy resources, frees up space in the server, simplifies management and maintenance processes, solves the issue of import substitution, according to the company.

The second important feature of the new product is its versatility. With unified hardware components based on integrated circuits Intel , the solution integrates well with any network infrastructure. It is mounted in a standard rack 19 '. In the future, devices can work on the basis of domestic platforms. All of the ER series routers operate on a single, operating system EcoRouterOS have an optimal form factor from 1RU to 4RU and are available in both fixed and modular versions, which allows the customer to choose the optimal configuration.

The release of a universal product significantly expands market opportunities, say the company. If earlier the products of the РДП.РУ were oriented mainly to the market of telecom operators and broadband access, then with the creation of the EcoRouter, the developer got the opportunity to enter state and corporate customers. This product is especially relevant for owners of large geographically distributed infrastructures, which can save by using a minimum set of equipment when creating communication nodes in branches.

EcoRouter has high performance (up to 480 GB/s in a 2U design), which provides traffic bandwidth up to 360 GB/s per device and allows you to work with large routing tables (up to 5 million routes in FIB). A large set of functions, the ability to combine level 2 and level 3 services, support for MPLS technologies - all this allows operators and corporations to simplify the architecture of their aggregation network, as well as improve the quality and reliability of service provision.

I believe that the market of the future will focus on such universal products created in accordance with the current needs of customers and amid the growing demand for virtualization of network functions and commodity hardware. Now that general-purpose processors have become competitive compared to specialized hardware solutions, we can create truly innovative solutions that we could only dream of before, "says Sergey Nikulin, Director General of the РДП.ру.
