The Multiprotocol Router ASN product portfolio is being discontinued by Nortel*. The last
order date is April 30, 2007 with the table below providing a list of discontinued codes. Any
Multiprotocol Router ASN order codes not listed in the table have also been discontinued.

Technical support for the Multiprotocol Router ASN products will continue through the
