The 9000 will support IP routing with the addition of IP Navigator which is a soon-to-be announced enhancement to our Frame Relay and ATM switches. This is based on the IETF MPLS standards work. Stay tuned for announcements. However, at the heart of our core switching we have always had the Virtual Network Navigator which is an OSPF based network path algorithm. In fact, the author of OSPF, John Moy, is an Ascend engineer working on the integration of IP and ATM.
