EYEBALL announces ICE SDK coverage of CableLabs
PacketCable 2.0 IMS call completion specifications

Paris, France (International SIP Conference) - Eyeball, the VoIP Call CompletionT
company, today announced complete coverage of CableLabs® PacketCable 2.0 firewall
and NAT traversal specifications. Eyeball's AnyFirewall Engine is the industry's
first ICE SDK (software development kit) to enable cable industry vendors to rapidly
integrate firewall and NAT traversal into PacketCable applications, services and
devices.

CableLabs, the technology consortium of cable system operators, has incorporated ICE
support into the PacketCableT 2.0 specification. Interactive Connectivity
Establishment (ICE) is a set of techniques developed by the IETF to enable VoIP
applications and devices to complete calls through firewalls and NATs. ICE has now
been adopted as the single solution for VoIP firewall and NAT traversal for
wireline, wireless, and cable networks.

"ICE is a powerful and complex methodology," stated Dr. Shahadat Khan, Eyeball CTO
and keynote speaker at the International SIP Conference, in Paris France. "Eyeball
has been working on ICE firewall and NAT traversal techniques since 2001. Today,
Eyeball's ICE SDK provides a compelling value proposition to the cable industry by
significantly reducing the cost, risk, and time-to-market of ICE firewall and NAT
traversal."

ICE is quickly becoming the accepted standard for VoIP call completion. Leading
vendors including Microsoft, Cisco, Nortel, Lucent Alcatel, Huawei, Avaya, Juniper,
Tanberg, Nokia and Sony Ericsson have endorsed ICE, are engaged in ICE development
or have licensed Eyeball's AnyFirewall Engine.

The AnyFirewall Engine ICE SDK is available today for licensing and deployment.
