OcNOS CP 7.0: Accelerating Innovation in Open Network Software

IP Infusion continues to lead the evolution of open networking software with the release of OcNOS CP 7.0, the latest version of its production-ready networking control plane source code offering. Designed for networking vendors, system integrators, and enterprises building connected systems, OcNOS CP enables organizations to build, control, and differentiate their network stack

OcNOS CP provides a feature-complete control plane with a powerful protocol stack, management interfaces, and operational tooling. Combined with hardware and platform abstraction layers, it is designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of hardware platforms. This robust framework helps development teams accelerate product development and reduce time-to-market by 12–18 months.

Unlike many competing source-code offerings that rely heavily on professional services, OcNOS CP follows a structured product release model with a defined roadmap, providing customers with predictable feature evolution and long-term platform stability.

Driving Network Evolution with SR-MPLS and EVPN-VXLAN

OcNOS CP 7.0 release further enhances two purpose-built OcNOS control-plane bundles that redefine how operators deploy EVPN across service provider and data center fabrics. The OcNOS-CP-SR-MPLS bundle modernizes MPLS networks with Segment Routing, eliminating LDP/RSVP complexity while enabling deterministic path control, reduced label state, and seamless support for both legacy VPN and EVPN services. The OcNOS-CP-EVPN-VxLAN bundle transforms data center and campus networks with a scalable, automated overlay—expanding from 4K VLAN limits to 16M VNIDs, simplifying provisioning, and enabling control plane MAC learning over L3 Clos fabrics.

These bundles are ideal for OEMs, ODMs, large cloud operators, and tier-1 service providers that require source code access for deep integration, customization, and differentiation—whether embedding into white-box platforms, integrating with proprietary controllers, or enabling advanced automation and telemetry.

IP Infusion’s leadership lies in disaggregated networking, delivering a hardware-agnostic, production-proven control plane with rapid feature velocity, lower TCO, and unmatched flexibility. With EVPN as a unifying architecture across WAN and DC, OcNOS empowers customers to standardize operations, accelerate innovation, and outpace legacy vendors in building scalable, cloud-ready networks.

Enhancing Security, Visibility, and Automation

The new release also strengthens operational capabilities with enhanced first-hop security, traffic protection mechanisms, and service assurance tools. Features such as TWAMP, object tracking using IP SLA, and event-driven automation provide operators with improved visibility into network performance and enable automated responses to operational events.

Enabling Faster Network Innovation

With the OcNOS CP 7.0, IP Infusion continues to empower networking innovators with a modular, production-ready control plane platform. By combining rich protocol functionality, automation capabilities, and an open integration model, OcNOS CP allows organizations to focus on product differentiation while accelerating delivery of next-generation networking solutions.

As EVPN, Segment Routing, and multi-tenant architectures continue to shape the future of networking, OcNOS CP remains a powerful foundation for companies building the next generation of connected infrastructure.
