GoS Networks provides a revolutionary approach to QoS, delivering more effective QoS than any other technique available today. This presentation provides an overview of GoS Networks, the markets we serve, the challenges we address and the technology we develop.

1. Products and Solutions Overview July 2010 1

2. GoS Networks Ownership and History GoS Networks is a private company owned by Dermot Desmond’s IIU Investments and Padraig Harrington GoS Networks is extremely well funded and very secure GoS Networks was formed from the legacy of U4EA, a company with 9 years experience in high-tech software and hardware solutions, including QoS, IADs, MSBGs, Wireless LAN Controllers and Access Points and linux-based signalling software solutions GoS Networks Senior Management, many of whom are former Senior Managers in Ericsson and company Directors, has over 20 years experience working together in high tech embedded communications 2

3. GoS Networks Provides innovative software & reference solutions to enable the delivery of advanced IP services Guarantee of Service (GoS): provides unparalleled QoS for multiple real-time applications GoS Gateway Platform: a SoHo / SMB gateway software package that delivers all key features into one complete solution Wireless LAN Controller (WLC): platform enabling the delivery of a complete enterprise class WiFi network Fusion 1000: Carrier class signalling gateway for connecting legacy ISDN equipment to Next Generation Networks 3

4. Guarantee of Service 4

5. Guarantee of Service (GoS) Different traffic management mechanisms have been in use for more than 30 years Older mechanisms were not designed with more than one type of service in mind GoS Networks went back to first principles Analysed the problem mathematically Used these insights to develop a new mechanism A queuing/scheduling system designed for multiple real-time services Provides independent control over loss and delay Designed to operate at any contention point We call it ‘Guarantee of Service’ – GoS 5

6. Achieving Quality: First principles Network resources are limited Packets Streams must compete for: Outgoing bandwidth Otherwise the throughput of the packet stream is limited Places in the buffers Otherwise there is packet loss Service (being selected for transmission) Otherwise there is delay These ‘competitions’ are not independent Fixing each one creates a relationship between the other 2 6

9. Independent yet simultaneous control of throughput, loss and delay

10. Underlying mathematical model ensure predictable performance Every application gets the quality it needs QoS principles and GoS 7

11. Guarantee of Service “GoS” The most advanced QoS solution available QoE for multiple revenue-generating real-time & non-real-time services The right applications get the right QoS at the right time (automatically) Even during maximum congestion Independent control over loss and delay Automatic customer configurations Dynamic re-configuration based on session setup/teardown Efficient Fills the link 100% while guaranteeing 90% for quality traffic Meet QoS requirements without need to overprovision or reserve bandwidth Control network congestion from source Deliver real-time statistics for monitoring and diagnostics QoS and Bandwidth Usage 8

12. Real Multi-service QoS Delay Time GoS provides multiple real-time classes Other mechanisms only have one Not enough for triple-play and Unified Communications And delivers predictable differentiated quality

13. Growth of Multiple Apps & Services 10 Multiple revenue-generating services and applications

14. Down one Pipe 11 Effective and efficient QoS is essential to protect critical and real-time application traffic at congestion points

15. GoS Assures Real-time Apps Delay Loss Best Effort 12

17. No wastage GoS fills the link to 100% Applications’ QoS requirements can be met without having to overprovision or reserve bandwidth 90% can be used for traffic with controlled loss and delay Quality traffic has dedicated bandwidth which is always available Reusable by Best Effort whenever not being used Other solutions fail to fill the link while providing QoS “You should only fill your link to 30% for priority traffic” … (typical Cisco recommendation)

18. Making broadband applications work Downlink: 2Mbps Uplink: 256Kbps GoS DiffServ/LLQ 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 VoIP Gaming Maximum theoretical delays (in ms) for critical traffic In a typical broadband scenario multiple applications require low delay

19. Making broadband applications work Sample of actual delay (in ms) for a video call in the same broadband scenario DiffServ/LLQ GoS GoS delay is predictable and consistently low 16

20. Automatic QoS VoiceQoS Simplify configuration for converged voice+data scenarios Dynamic QoS configuration System reconfigures itself whenever a call starts or ends QoS settings automatically derived from VoIP call signalling Remove the need for users to know about bandwidth, loss, delay, codecs, protocols etc. Quality driven admission control Only accept a new call if it won’t break commitments on other calls and data traffic Ensure that emergency calls succeed 17

21. Unique features of GoS Multi-service Multiple real-time/critical traffic classes Independent control over loss & delay Predictable Consistent performance under all traffic loads No need for time-consuming simulations or expensive tests Easy to use Low-level configuration generated automatically Efficient Fully fills the link while guaranteeing 90% for quality traffic Simple Interoperable with standards (e.g. DiffServ) and network functions

23. Benefits of GoS Reliable QoS for premium and real-time applications Differential treatment to meet application requirements Delivery of end-to-end QoE over variable networks Efficient use of resources Network can be right-sized for application needs ‘Undesirable’ traffic automatically moved aside in favour of premium services Monitoring traffic streams Ensure premium services are getting appropriate treatment Flexible support of service offers Prioritize traffic to in-house and partner servers Vary QoS per subscriber Bandwidth and QoS profiles 20

37. How GoS Technology Works 34

38. Fundamental GoS loss loss S P Delay priority 1 Priority Service Delay priority 2 limit Identify Stream P/S Loss Priority Admission Delay priority 3 S P CU Mux Delay priority 4 The CU Mux uniquely controls loss and delay simultaneously during multiplexing Streams are separately policed and randomly shaped prior to multiplexing

39. Fundamental GoS - input loss loss S P Delay priority 1 Priority Service Delay priority 2 limit Identify Stream P/S Loss Priority Admission Delay priority 3 S P CU Mux Delay priority 4 Packet input/classification/tokenization: Create a representation of the packet and store it (if necessary) Identify the packet (using a tag or classifier) Create a token for this packet (patented re-ordering prevention)

40. Fundamental GoS - policing loss loss S P Delay priority 1 Priority Service Delay priority 2 limit Identify Stream P/S Loss Priority Admission Delay priority 3 S P CU Mux Delay priority 4 Police each stream to a configured rate Single or dual-rate No delay is introduced Unique and flexible method

41. Fundamental GoS - shaping loss loss S P Delay priority 1 Priority Service Delay priority 2 limit Identify Stream P/S Loss Priority Admission Delay priority 3 S P CU Mux Delay priority 4 Shaping Introduce a small amount of random spacing into the streams Influence TCP streams by lengthening RTT Enables CU Mux predictability and fairness Patented method

42. Fundamental GoS - muxing loss loss S P Delay priority 1 Priority Service Delay priority 2 limit Identify Stream P/S Loss Priority Admission Delay priority 3 S P CU Mux Delay priority 4 Admission depends solely on loss priority Servicing depends solely on delay priority – strict priority queuing Unique simultaneous and independent management of loss and delay! CU Mux/Detokenization: Stable and fair multiplexing Limit the rate of the outgoing stream to prevent downstream contention Reconnect tokens with packets (without re-ordering)

43. CU Mux admission Unlike standard (CB)WFQ, packets are admitted depending on the total occupancy of all the queues This is the key to managing loss and delay simultaneously but independently Packets with higher loss priorities have access to more buffers Thresholds are configured automatically Standard: per-queue thresholds CU Mux: total occupancy

44. Even spacing on main road - either Every gap is big enough – no queue Or no gap is big enough – infinite queue Random spacing on main road A big enough gap always comes eventually Length of queue depends on main road rate The multiplexing delays are bounded and predictable because the packets are randomly spaced Random shaping
