Culture · Geography · Health · History · Mathematics · Nature · Philosophy · Religion · Society · Technology  Nortel TSX: NT NYSE: NT, formerly known as Northern Telecom Limited, is a multinational telecommunications equipment manufacturer headquartered in Toronto, Canada. The company's best-known products include the DMS/SL-100 phone systems, and the ERS-8000 Router and Switch systems. Nortel has manufactured telecommunications equipment since 1896 when it was called the Northern Electric and Manufacturing Company Limited. [1] Split Multi-Link Trunking (SMLT) allows multiple physical network links between two (2) network switches and another device (which could be another switch or a network device such as a server) to be treated as a single logical link and load balance the traffic across all available links. A general limitation of standard Link aggregation or Multi-Link Trunking (MLT) or EtherChannel is that all the physical ports in the link aggregation group must reside on the same switch. The SMLT, DSMLT and RSMLT protocols remove this limitation by allowing the physical ports to be split between two switches, allowing for the creation of Active load sharing High availability network designs that meet "Five Nines" availability requirements.  Mike S. Zafirovski (b. 1954, in Skopje, present day Republic of Macedonia) His education consists of Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics from Edinboro University, Honorary Doctorate in Public Service from Edinboro University. Mr. Zafirovski spent 24 years with General Electric, starting in 1975, where he went through GE's Jack Welch-style leadership training programs and served in various management positions. He was then promoted to his last position at GE, as President and CEO of GE Lighting from July 1999 to May 2000. Afterwards, he joined Motorola, serving as Executive Vice President and President of the Personal Communications Sector from June 2000 until July 2002. In 2002, he was passed over for the promotion to Chief Operating Officer for Edward Breen, but Breen quit later that year and Zafirovski was given the title in July 2002. His success in the PCS division among other achievements at Motorola, seemed to make him a perfect candidate for the CEO position but the title went to Edward Zander on January 5, 2004. Zafirovski resigned on January 12, 2005. He was a consultant to and a director of Motorola from then until May 2005. When Zafirovski was chosen to head up Nortel Networks in early October, Motorola filed a suit against him, alleging that his new position would break the terms of the non-disclosure agreement he had signed. Nortel agreed to pay $11.5 million to settle the suit. Zafirovski became the President and Chief Executive Officer of Nortel Networks, replacing Bill Owens as of November 15, 2005. He was elected to the Board of Directors at Boeing on October 25, 2004.
