OCP Networking
| Description | The Open Compute Networking Project is creating a set of technologies that are disaggregated and fully open, allowing for rapid innovation in the network space. We aim to facilitate the development of network hardware and software – together with trusted project validation and testing – in a truly open and collaborative community environment. We’re bringing to networking the guiding principles that OCP has brought to servers & storage, so that we can give end users the ability to forgo traditional closed and proprietary network switches – in favor of a fully open network technology stack. Our initial goal is to develop a top-of-rack (leaf) switch, while future plans target spine switches and other hardware and software solutions in the space. Scope Fully disaggregated and open networking HW & SW Operating System – Linux based operating systems & developer tools, and ReST API’s Fully automated configuration management & bare metal provisioning Universal & Multi-Form Factor Switch motherboard hardware Fully open integration & connectivity Energy efficient power & cooling designs Software Defined Networking (SDN) Out of Scope Protocol stacks & virtualization network architectures & topologies. hardware abstraction layer, deep packet inspection, hardware based security, firewall feature sets and load balancing |
