This paper is a guide for the Cisco IOS Software release naming conventions. The growth of Cisco's target markets has greatly influenced the evolution of the IOS Specific Technology ED (STED) release-naming scheme. This growth has prompted several STEDs to employ the use of two character letters, which then have a maintenance number appended. This maintenance trail permits new feature and platform integration with each subsequent maintenance release.
