ASON/GMPLS/MPLS Control Plane | Network Simulator | OSS Support | Host-based MPLS | TL1 NE Simulator | Contact

DeriveIt, a leader in carrier-class network control plane software and simulation tools, offers a complete GMPLS Control Plane module for a wide range of network elements. Based on DeriveIt’s fifteen years experience in optical transmission software, reliable and advanced capabilities are designed in from the start. Quality is achieved in all product phases, including requirements, design, coding, testing, and OEM support.

DeriveIt also understands the main priorities of both network system vendors and carriers. These include scalability and restoration – our core product strengths. We are continuously monitoring and advancing the state of the art for GMPLS technologies with participation in ITU, OIF, and IETF standards bodies. We view GMPLS as a key platform that will drive development and deployment of a wide range of additional capabilities. DeriveIt’s product will remain at the forefront.
