BT to offer six classes of service

Matthew Broersma writes on Techworld that:

BT has launched a service designed to make life easier for businesses running voice, multimedia and data traffic over converged networks.

The service, catchily titled Six Class of Service Differentiated Services Code Point (6 CoS DSCP), prioritises communications traffic into six classes of service in order to guarantee performance. BT expects the service will appeal to the growing number of companies seeking to cut costs by managing their own converged network, loaded with such services as video and voice over IP.

Additionally, Graeme Wearden writes in a Special to C|Net News that:

BT Group has chosen its preferred suppliers for a multibillion-dollar upgrade of its U.K. infrastructure.

Among those selected are Alcatel, Ciena, Cisco Systems, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Huawei, Lucent Technologies and Siemens. All have been picked to supply equipment and services that will allow BT to replace existing circuit-switched networks with a single IP-based network. The project is known as the 21st Century Network project, or 21CN.
