Speed with the New Flow Router

It is the need for speed. Lawrence Roberts thinks that the new flow router is the innovation to achieve that necessary speed for the internet:

“…Instead of sending data through smaller packets, Anagran’s FR-1000 Intelligent Flow Router attempts to manage information by larger groups of related packets, called flows, and uses a technique to give proper priority to larger flows of information while capping how much of the network’s resources they can use.”

The price tag on the router is seventy thousand ($70,000) dollars. Mr Robert’s company, Anagran, is in a marketplace with some giants of technology: Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks. It has to be significant innovation to take market share from these leaders in the technology sector.
