Building next-generation networking systems is a race against time. Delays and missing protocol capabilities directly impact market success. Yet developing a robust, carrier-grade network control plane from scratch is complex, resource-intensive, and risky. OcNOS CP 7.0 solves this problem with a proven foundation built on more than 25 years of real-world deployment experience.
OcNOS CP — formerly known as ZebOS — is IP Infusion’s production-ready networking control plane source code platform. It gives networking vendors, system integrators, and enterprises building connected systems the protocol stack, management interfaces, and operational tooling they need to accelerate product development — without starting from zero.
From Idea to Deployment, Faster
Every organization building a networking product faces a fundamental choice: build the entire protocol stack in-house, or leverage a proven platform and focus engineering resources on differentiation.
OcNOS CP 7.0 makes that choice straightforward. With over 600 features and 200+ protocols spanning L2, L3, MPLS, Segment Routing, EVPN-VXLAN, and VPN services, teams that adopt OcNOS CP can accelerate time-to-market by 12–18 months compared to building from the ground up.
| Approach | Time to Market | Protocol Coverage | Support Model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build in-house | 3–5 years | Limited by team scope | Internal only |
| Open-source assembly | 1–3 years | Variable; integration risk | Community |
| OcNOS CP 7.0 | 6–18 months | 600+ features, 200+ protocols | 24×7 TAC + roadmap |
What OcNOS CP 7.0 Includes
OcNOS CP is not a partial toolkit or a collection of open-source components. It is a complete, production-grade control plane that includes:
- Layer 2 — 802.1Q VLANs, RSTP/MSTP, LACP, MC-LAG, LLDP
- Layer 3 — IPv4/IPv6 unicast and multicast, OSPFv2/v3, IS-IS, BGP-4, RIP, PIM-SM/SSM
- MPLS — LDP, RSVP-TE, Segment Routing (SR-MPLS), SR-TE, Flex-Algo
- VPN services — L3VPN, VPLS, EVPN, VXLAN, BGP-LU
- High availability — BFD, graceful restart, VRRP, NSR, NSF
- Management — NETCONF/YANG, gNMI, OpenConfig, SNMP, CLI
- OAM and assurance — TWAMP, Y.1731, Y.1564, IP SLA
Two Purpose-Built Bundles in OcNOS CP 7.0
OcNOS CP 7.0 introduces two pre-integrated control plane bundles aligned to the most common deployment architectures:
OcNOS-CP-SR-MPLS Bundle
Designed for service provider networks migrating from LDP to Segment Routing. This bundle delivers complete SR-MPLS functionality — eliminating LDP and RSVP-TE complexity while enabling deterministic path control, reduced label state, and seamless support for both legacy L3VPN and modern EVPN services.
OcNOS-CP-EVPN-VXLAN Bundle
Designed for data center and campus deployments requiring scalable, automated overlay networking. This bundle expands beyond the 4K VLAN limitation to 16 million VNIDs, enables control-plane MAC learning over L3 Clos fabrics, and simplifies provisioning with standards-based EVPN signaling.
Who Uses OcNOS CP
OcNOS CP is trusted by over 300 networking product companies worldwide, including well-known security and networking vendors who embed it as their routing protocol foundation. Customers include OEMs building custom white-box platforms, ODMs integrating merchant silicon with software, and cloud operators requiring full source-code access for deep customization.
More Than Source Code: A Product with a Roadmap
Unlike services-driven or community open-source approaches, OcNOS CP follows a structured product release model with a defined roadmap. Customers receive:
- Full source-code access with modular architecture for customization
- 24×7 TAC support from IP Infusion’s engineering team
- Regular releases aligned to emerging protocol standards
- Access to IP Infusion’s broader OcNOS ecosystem for integration testing
