3.2. Fluidmesh Architecture
3.2.1. Overview
Wireless network architectures
Depending on the network design and the type of components used, the
Cisco FM1000 Gateway can be used to create wireless network
architectures, including:
• Point-to-point (P2P) links.
• Mobility networks.
3.2.2. Fluidmesh technologies
Prodigy
Prodigy is Fluidmesh's proprietary implementation of the Multi-Protocol-
Label-Switching (MPLS) standard.
Prodigy 2.0 offers greatly improved performance compared to Prodigy 1.0.
New features include:
• Fluidity (through software plug-ins)
• Traffic engineering
• Advanced Quality of Service (QoS)
