<title><![CDATA[Quality Concerns: Steven Rogers, Rivulet, with Bob Emmerson]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
 Steven Rogers, founder and CEO of Rivulet Communications, responds to Bobs opening question: Ive interviewed several companies in this QoS series and while the objectives are the same or very similar, the technologies employed are widely different.  Can you comment on the different approaches and the lack of standards?  Steven starts by explaining that there are simple standards based on simple prioritization mechanisms, i.e. giving real-time traffic the highest priority.  However, these are software mechanisms that dont require a standard.  Rivulets technology is proprietary but since it involves client software in end point devices a standards-compliant infrastructure is required.  Right now it can be deployed as a QoS appliance at the Enterprise premise, but the ultimate goal is to place Rivulet Technology right in an existing network endpoint, alleviating the need for additional hardware platforms.  Steven explains that while Rivulet platforms are not routers or switches, they do work over an existing infrastructure that is standards compliant.   And he states that Rivulet is the only scaleable end-to-end solution that can provide reliable QoS though both the Carrier and Enterprise networks.    Bob then asks why traffic prioritization isnt enough. Steven explains how prioritization cant scale; it breaks down as more real-time traffic is placed on the network. If too much traffic is prioritized then there is no meaningful priority.  Rivulet fixes this problem by organizing the flow of real-time packets to avoid contention with other traffic at router queues.    Finally, Bob Emmerson questions the claim that the technology achieves a Bit Error Rate (BER) better than 10-9.  Steven admits that the physical layer can introduce errors, which Rivulet technology cannot address.  However, he goes on to say that it eliminates all packet loss that occurs at router queues, which is achieved without holding up or delaying the delivery of real-time traffic.    Rivulet moves the queuing issue back to the network endpoint.  The endpoint schedules the transmission of real-time packets in such a way that they do not encounter router congestion at any point in the network.    Steven Rogers - President, CEO & Founder - Rivulet Communications Steven has over 20 years of experience in the communications industry. He is the founder and CEO of four network product companies: Cryptek, Objective Communications, Cetacean Networks, and Rivulet Communications.  His extensive background also include management and development work at Unisys, American Satellite, COMSAT Mobile Telesystems. Steven has a BSEE from Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
