FORE Systems has provided hardware support for ABR in all its ATM switches
shipped since the introduction of the ASX-200 in mid-1994. Furthermore, all
ASX-100 customers were offered a very low cost switch fabric upgrade that
included ABR support as well as UNI 3.0 Dual Leaky bucket policing.
Consequently, virtually every FORE ATM switch installed today provides
hardware support for ABR.
FORE's 200e series of Adapters (PCI, VME, EISA, MCA, etc.) will offer ABR
support with a free micro code upgrade.
Software enhancements for ForeThought ATM Internetworking software will add
UNI 4.0 and PNNI, which will complete our initial standards-based ABR offering.
As new products are introduced, additional ABR capabilities (explicit rate
(ER) and virtual source/virtual destination VS/VD)) will be offered. These
advanced capabilities will also be available to our installed base through
optional, cost-effective upgrades.
If you have any further question regarding the ABR standard, or FORE's
support of ABR, please visit our Web site.

JSS
