Pravin Mahajan, Infinera

Infinera has developed a chip to speed up network restoration following faults.

The chip implements the Shared Mesh Protection (SMP) protocol being developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and Infinera believes it is the only vendor with hardware acceleration of the protocol.
