The new Content Networking will span the Optical Internet, Wireless
Internet, Local Internet, and E-Business. As a result, service
providers, Internet data centers, Web hosters, and portals are
expected to be able to improve their reliability, speed, and
profitability.
"This is a milestone in our efforts to bring a new level of
intelligence and personalization to the Internet," said Clarence
Chandran, Nortel's chief operating officer.
"The high-performance Internet will be able to prioritize and speed
information to its destination by looking beyond the IP address and
into the content sent by any given user."
Founded in May 1996, Alteon WebSystems employs a staff of over 600
around the world. It was a pioneer in the concept of Web switching.
