According to the company, the release will incorporate three new capabilities into Cisco routers: Novell’s NetWare Link Services Protocol, to improve scalability in wide area networks; Novell’s IPXWAN 2.0 protocol to maximise the economic efficiency of NetWare servers working with Cisco routers; and Internet Packet Exchange Floating Static Routes, a Cisco-developed feature said to boost fault-tolerance in enterprise networks. Available now, version 10.3 will be free to holders of software maintenance contracts, says the company.
