ED = Early Deployment
Unlike main Cisco IOS releases, Cisco IOS ED releases are vehicles that
bring new development to the marketplace. Each maintenance revision of an ED
release includes not only bug fixes, but also a set of new features, new
platform support, and general enhancements to protocols and the Cisco IOS
infrastructure. Every one to two years, the features and platforms of the ED
releases are ported to the next main Cisco IOS release.
GD = General Deployment
LD = Limited Deployment
