The versatile hardware platform of the NetVanta 3205 is further complemented with the AOS. The AOS allows for the support of static and default routes, demand routing, and allows for fast, accurate network convergence using routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF, and RIP. In addition, the AOS terminates Frame Relay, Multilink Frame Relay, PPP, Multilink PPP, and HDLC Wide Area Network (WAN) protocols.
