The OpenSwitch Project, which is developing an open source, Linux-based Network Operating System, announced contributions from SnapRoute and Dell EMC.
The enhanced contributions include:
- SnapRoute’s open source network stack and management services, which enable a fully modular, hardware independent NOS, accessible through a complete set of APIs.
- Dell EMC’s OS10 Open Edition, which represents a fully open, fully disaggregated base subsystem incorporating hardware and platform abstraction layers for networking switching applications.
Other OpenSwitch project supporting members and participating organizations include Barefoot Networks, Broadcom, Cavium, Inc., Centec Networks, Edgecore Networks, Extreme Networks, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, LinkedIn, Marvell, Mellanox Technologies, Nephos Inc., P4.org, Quattro Networks and Terralogic.
“The OpenSwitch community continues to demonstrate its enthusiastic commitment to the creation of an open source network operating system,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director of The Linux Foundation. “It’s exciting to see a rapid influx of contributions to OpenSwitch, which are priming the project to support next-generation requirements and features.”
