Open Source Software


     Edgecore is the leading network contributor to current open-source software communities including OCP , ONF, TIP, DENT
     and Microsoft SONiC. Edgecore switches offer a choice of open source software distributions that provide network operators
     and ISVs with open platforms to enable  value-add application development.
        Open Network Foundation’s (ONF’s) Atrium. Open-source SDN distribution providing OpenFlow switch agent managed
        by the ONOS OpenFlow SDN controller with BGP routing applications.
        Open Network Linux (ONL). The OCP reference NOS, providing a standard platform for forwarding agents including
        OpenFlow and agents to program switch silicon.
        Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC). The SONiC community is being led by Microsoft and many other
        key players, including Edgecore, to deliver a robust, proven software infrastructure to enable customers to build highly
        scalable, data center networks. Containing proven Layer-2 and Layer-3 protocols, along with a modern micro-services
        architecture, customers can extend the functionality of SONiC to meet their specific use case.
        DENT: As a new Linux Foundation project, DENT will utilize the Linux Kernel, Switchdev, and other Linux based projects
        as the basis for building a new standardized network operating system without abstractions or overhead.

       - Leaf and spine architecture scales from few racks with L2 fabric to thousands of racks with L3 fabric.
       - Edgecore open switches provide choice of 1G, 10G, 25G or 100G server connections; and 10G, 40G, 100G and 400G
          spine network.
       - Folded CLOS fabric provides network underlay supporting SDN, virtualization and cloud orchestration software options.
