Which Open Networking Platforms Support EVPN-VXLAN, SR-MPLS, and AI Fabric? The OcNOS Feature Matrix Has the Answer

If you build carrier or cloud networks, you know the feeling. You have the feature, say EVPN-VXLAN for a data center fabric, SR-MPLS for the transport edge, or RoCEv2 for an AI fabric, but not which hardware it is validated on, or which OcNOS license tier unlocks it. Finding out used to mean datasheets, release notes, and a few emails to your SE.

The OcNOS Feature Matrix answers all of it in one searchable view, combining a feature matrix, hardware compatibility matrix, and license guide for validated open networking platforms. It maps 700+ OcNOS features against 43 validated hardware platforms, with the exact license tier each feature needs on each box.

What the matrix answers

Every platform evaluation asks the same things: is the feature available, on which hardware, against which standard, and at what license tier. The matrix answers all four in one lookup. Every cell shows two things: whether the feature runs on that platform, and the license tier that turns it on.

It spans the technologies in most carrier and cloud networks: EVPN-VXLAN; MPLS and Segment Routing; AI/ML fabric (RoCEv2, PFC, ECN, and DLB for lossless Ethernet in AI training and inference clusters); BGP, IS-IS, and OSPF; Carrier Ethernet; and 400G platforms. Each feature is linked to its standard, such as RFC 4271, RFC 7432, or IEEE 802.1ag, so you can verify standards compliance during platform evaluations and RFP responses.

Validated open networking platforms

The matrix covers 43 systems from open hardware vendors including Edgecore, UfiSpace, and Celestica, on Broadcom Jericho, Qumran, and Tomahawk silicon. Filter by SR-MPLS, EVPN-VXLAN, AI Fabric, or a specific silicon family, and the platform grid narrows to validated systems, each with its port layout, capacity, and OcNOS version.

Four ways in

1. Start from a feature. Search “EVPN-VXLAN”, “RFC 8665”, or “802.1Q” and the platform grid updates live to show every validated box.
2. Start from a platform. Click any hardware card to see its full feature set, chip, port layout, and OcNOS version.
3. Start from a use case. One-click presets load common designs: EVPN data center fabric, SR-MPLS edge, AI Fabric, BGP peering, 400G DCI, and broadband access.
4. Start from a license. The SKU Lens filters the whole view to what a given OcNOS bundle covers.

Narrow further by vendor, ASIC, or port speed, compare up to 12 platforms side by side, and switch between a category-grouped and a flat view. Your selection lives in the URL, so you can share an exact comparison through a single link.

Use it as an RFP and evaluation tool

Whether you are scoping an EVPN-VXLAN fabric, a Segment Routing backbone, a RoCEv2 AI fabric, or a 400G DCI build, you can narrow candidate platforms in minutes instead of cross-referencing datasheets by hand. Filter to your requirements, feature availability, standards compliance, ASIC, port speed, and required license tier, then export a tailored PDF of exactly the platforms and features that match. That document drops straight into your design file or RFP response.

Here is what the export produces: a branded, dated comparison sheet listing your selected features and platforms, the standard each feature implements, the required OcNOS license tier, and per-platform support.

What’s next

We add platforms as they complete validation, so coverage keeps growing.
