Enclosed is some information (see news release)on InterNetShare's All
Aboard! Advanced Edge Router family. Readers developing Internet/telecom
products will be interested in this development. The Source Code is
available for Linux, embedded Linux or other popular embedded operating
systems. AER is available 30 days ARO, as either portable embedded Source
Code for OEMs, or as a completely packaged ISP device. Source Code is
licensed at $75,000 royalty-free. 

The target market for this solution is ISPs, corporate newtworks as well
as OEM developers -- any of which who might require simplified & secure
broadband communications among remote LAN users with 100% transparency.
As you know reliable and secure IP services with multimedia capability
are vital for electronic commerce hosting, VPNs, Voice over IP, Internet
streaming and other multimedia-intensive applications. Users of these
applications demand the same level (or better) of network reliability
that has been achieved in today's PSTN and leased-line networks.

INTERNETSHARE RELEASES ADVANCED EDGE
ROUTER PRODUCT FAMILY
First to provide advanced translation and security for IPv4 to IPv6
transition

See InterNetShare at N + I, Booth 8701

SUNNYVALE, CA (May 6, 2001) -- InterNetShare Inc., an Internet
connectivity provider, today announced the availability of its All
Aboard! Advanced Edge Router (AER) product family.  AER provides the
next-generation of secure, multi-media edge routing devices, and a
built-in IPv6 transition environment. The All Aboard! AER family is
provided as a complete hardware/software device for resellers, or as
Portable Source Code for OEM incorporation.

The AE Product family is targeted to Corporate End Users, Internet
Service Providers, and Original Equipment Manufacturers that require
simplified, secure communications among remote LAN users.

“Our All Aboard! Advanced Edge Router family addresses several key
market requirements, all at a new level of functionality and reduced
cost,” said David J. Preston, VP & GM of InterNetShare. “AER provides
the most-complete integrated solution for connecting remote LANS
securely, with virtually 100% transparency to the end-user.”

Configured via a standard web browser, AER’s encryption, firewall,
multimedia, VPN and IPv4/IPv6 services provide connectivity for both the

‘classic’ IPv4 Internet, and a seamless transition to IPv6. Once
installed, users never have to worry about transitioning network devices

to IPv6. If users add IPv6-based LAN devices, AER will provide auto
configuration and transparent connectivity as well. Users can preserve
their investment in IPv4 devices already installed, and add IPv6-based
systems to the same network segment with no interoperability issues
--clean, simple, transparent networking.

All Aboard! AER is the first product to incorporate a complete IPv4 to
IPv6 transition environment, coupled with encryption, secure VPN and
multimedia services. The product also adds support for either remote or
local web configuration, which allows ISPs to remotely add or delete
services and diagnose customer issues, without expensive “truck rolls.”
All Aboard! AER also includes connection request auto-sensing, which
transparently determines whether a user is requesting IPv4 or tunneled
IPv6-overIPv4 services. The user simply sees transparent connectivity,
no matter where the resource is on the Internet or Virtual Private
Network. . AER is fully-compliant with all Internet standards, and
incorporates the following technologies:

Provides classic NAT, local DHCP and DNS servers for auto-configuration
of local IPv4 and IPv6 auto-configuration services for v6 devices;

A “NAT-PT” (“Network Address Translation - Protocol Translation” – as
per RFC-2766), which converts private IPv4 packets into public IPv6
packets;

“SIIT” (“Stateless IP/ICMP Translation Algorithm” – as per RFC 2765);

“DNS-ALG” (“DNS extensions to Network Address Translators”  – as per RFC

2694);

A “6to4” (“Connection of IPv6 Domains via IPv4 Clouds”– as per RFC
3056);

IPsec support for both Shared Secret and Public Key mechanisms;

Packet filtering (“firewall”) functionality, on a per protocol, per
‘route’ basis;

A native IPv6 router;

An HTTP-based configuration and management system;

H.323 routing services;

Packaging and distributed as portable Source Code for OEMs that want to
embed the technology into access point, gateway and edge-node devices,
or as a complete device for ISPs

The Source Code is available for Linux, embedded Linux or other popular
embedded operating systems. The ISP device can be custom-packaged and
branded at an additional cost.

AER is available 30 days ARO, as either portable embedded Source Code
for OEMs, or as a completely packaged ISP device. Source Code is
licensed at $75,000 royalty-free, and the packaged solution has a
quantity one list price of $2,995.
