NEW YORK, NY and LONDON and HONG KONG -- 10/28/09 --
Arbinet Corporation (NASDAQ: ARBX), a
leading global provider of innovative voice and IP solutions for buying and
selling telecommunications capacity, today announces the release of
OptimizedIP(SM) V2, an intelligent Layer 2 IP route optimization service
that provides enhanced Internet multi-homing. Through its patented
software technology, OptimizedIP V2 offers buyers connectivity to multiple
Tier-1 Internet service providers (ISP) via a single connection. The
service provides buyers with a single routing table of aggregated Internet
backbones. Without adding any additional network hops, the solution
optimizes network performance by selecting the best route from among
multiple providers, solving performance issues associated with traditional
BGP and best effort public Internet routing. The service optimizes Internet
data delivery to meet the high quality standards required by performance
critical applications such as VoIP, gaming and live video.
Increased demand for high quality Internet access continues to grow as more
critical applications rely on Internet Protocol (IP) technology.
Traditional BGP provides routing based on the shortest AS path and ignores
congestion and key quality metrics such as latency, packet loss and jitter.
OptimizedIP V2 addresses these issues by utilizing sophisticated
algorithmic configurations to route traffic over the Internet. The service
works by determining test IP addresses for networks from the global BGP
routing tables and uses Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) to ping
packets to these test addresses. The results are then analyzed by the
OptimizedIP system as often as every 15 minutes. Routing is prioritized
based on lowest packet loss, round trip delay and jitter. This process
occurs for each individual query ensuring that no matter where the packets
need to go, they will get to the destination on the optimal and most
efficient path. With only one connection, one routing table and no
additional ASN hops, OptimizedIP provides streamlined and optimized
Internet service with simultaneous access to multiple suppliers.
"Although IP transit is largely commoditized, our service and test results
prove that not all networks are designed equally, and not all networks
provide optimal paths for reliably delivering sensitive data," commented
Sue Su, Vice President of Arbinet Data Services. "Even the best ISP cannot
control the entire path to the end host because it depends on its peering
and customer networks. OptimizedIP adds value to our customers' IP service
offerings and helps them to differentiate their services, improve network
redundancy, performance and profitability."
OptimizedIP V2 is also available as a turnkey software solution which can
be deployed in any IP network that requires enhanced routing performance.
It saves the hassles and cost of in-house manual routing manipulation and
engineered optimization. ISPs and providers of mission critical
applications anywhere in the world can take advantage of Arbinet's
intelligent technology to optimize routing among their existing ISP
suppliers and offer premium Internet services to their end customers. The
service offers enhanced intelligent tools developed for in-depth network
routing analysis and testing.
OptimizedIP is one of three IP solution products offered by Arbinet. Other
products include PrimeIP(SM), which provides one-stop IP transit supplier
management and SelectIP(SM), an efficient peering solution that offers
flexible access to on-net routes of multiple networks via one connection.
All Arbinet's IP Solutions feature a single interconnect, contract, invoice
and support interface, and provide access to multiple suppliers and direct
peers without incurring an additional ASN hop. Arbinet's IP Solutions are
available in Europe, North America and Asia. The company is offering all
new customers who sign up before December 31, 2009 a free trial for a
limited time. For more information please email datasales@arbinet.com or
