The Internet and intranets have become very important infrastructures of information technology (IT). While IP traffic volume continues to increase day by day, causing serious congestion, the data for various new types of IP-based applications, such as animated images, voice, and mission-critical e-trading, are being sent over the same IP network at the same time. Because each type of application traffic has specific flow characteristics, each type must be handled with a certain level of guaranteed quality. To meet these quality of service (QoS) requirements, Hitachi developed the GR2000 gigabit router series and began shipping it in February 1999. Hitachi enhanced its performance and added more features in July 2000. The GR2000 takes advantage of such state-of-the-art technologies as high-speed communication, QoS control, and IPv6, so it can be used to construct advanced IP networks. Today, many customers are using the GR2000 to operate their networks.
