NETWORKING & INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE
The unprecedented growth of Internet traffic and large networks
results in heavy demand for newer technologies to mange the complex
networks and data centers. Research work is done in the area of
switching technologies, and new hardware is coming in the market
to meet the demands. The conventional TCP/IP suite of protocols
cannot meet the increasing demand due to their limitations. Companies
are fine-tuning the TCP/IP stack and adding more features to develop
newer and faster network applications.
IBN is involved in developing complex network solutions.
Our team has strong experience in network protocols and bandwidth
management devices. Our expertise can be leveraged to develop

NETWORK SECURITY & NETWORK MANAGEMENT
Security is an approach to allowing authorized access to resources.
Resources can be a Web page, an FTP site or access to the central
computing facility. With a wide variety of entry points into your
network, a layered approach to network security is required. Network
security devices should not only prevent DOS attacks, network
flooding, spam mails and unauthorized access, but also ensure
availability and QoS to legitimate users. IBN has experience
with network devices which are developed to provide high availability
to web sites along with prevention from any kind of attacks. Our
team has experience with SSL acceleration and has implemented
various encryption and decryption algorithms for secure transactions.
» Designed and developed one of the first Kernel SSL Implementations.
Our team has ported the OpenSSL code in kernel space and developed
the complete set of kernel APIs and libraries.
» Design and development of security products like IDS,
detection of protocol anomalies, DoS & DDoS prevention, Surge
protection.
» Design and development of VPNs, firewalls and other packet
filtering & content filtering products.
» Experience in implementing various encryption algorithms
- DES, Triple-DES, IDEA, Blowfish, RC6, Towfish, AES-Rijndael,
CAST
Networks are becoming more and more complex with the growth of
internet traffic. So configuring a network device and managing
the network is always a pain for the network administrators. IBN understands the complexities of configuring and managing
a device. Our team has developed configuration and management
tools which include - CLI, user friendly GUI, web based management
and SNMP-based management.

» Design and development of remote access using secure shell
» Design and development of reporting, logging tools and
analyzers
» Design and development of centralized management systems
IBN has the expertise to develop configuration and
management tools for any network device in minimum time frame.
We have designed and developed a generic framework for the purpose
of configuration and management. Contact us to get the configuration
and management support for your devices and to develop security
protocols, before an attack. Our offering includes -

QA AND TESTING
Quality is the most important component in software development
cycle. The product which works as desired in one environment,
can become a disaster in another environment. Building a robust
system is always a challenge to the companies. In the world of
Internet, one cannot predict the traffic pattern or packets. And
then there is another class of people, who take it as a challenge
to break any system.
The people who develop a system can rarely break it because of
their mindsets. So out of box testing becomes very important to
build a robust system. IBN has experience in the complete
test cycle. Our team is highly capable in stress testing and out
of box testing. We have used various load generators and analyzers
for performance testing. We have developed a high load generator
with error injection capability to test network devices. Our team
has developed various scripts and programs for automated testing.
Interoperability is again a big challenge in this voluminous vendors
and competitive market.
IBN has state of the art test labs with high speed
and secure internet connectivity. Our test cycle and procedure
includes -
» Functional and regression testing
» Performance and stress testing
» Development of tools to test customer specific device
