Building next-generation networking systems is a race against time—where delays and missing capabilities directly impact market success. Yet, developing a robust, carrier-grade network stack from scratch is complex and resource-intensive. With the general availability of our OcNOS-CP 7.0.0, we provide a proven foundation built on 25+ years of deployment experience, enabling you to accelerate innovation while retaining full control of your network.
From Idea to Deployment—Faster
If you’re building a product that depends on a robust networking protocol stack, you face a fundamental choice: build everything in-house, or leverage a proven platform.
OcNOS CP provides a proven platform and helps you skip years of heavy lifting.
Time to Market
With over 600 features and 200+ protocols spanning L2, L3, MPLS, Segment Routing, EVPN-VXLAN, and VPN services, OcNOS CP can accelerate time-to-market by 12–18 months.
Carrier Grade
High availability (MC-LAG, VRRP, BFD, graceful restart), OAM, and traffic engineering are built in—not bolted on.
Ownership
Full source-code access and a modular architecture let you customize as needed, while still leveraging a proven foundation.
Peace of Mind
With 24×7 TAC support, training, and a structured product roadmap, you get both flexibility and predictability—something that’s often missing from purely services-driven or open-source approaches.
Originally developed as ZebOS and refined over more than 25 years, OcNOS CP provides a production-grade control plane that’s already deployed across hundreds of real-world systems. Instead of stitching together open-source components or building protocols from scratch, your team can start with a mature, standards-compliant foundation.
The impact is immediate: faster development cycles, lower engineering costs, and more time spent on differentiation—not reinvention.
Built for How Modern Networks Actually Work
Today’s networks are no longer simple L2/L3 domains—they’re distributed, multi-tenant, and increasingly cloud-like in their architecture.
Technologies like EVPN have become the backbone of modern data centers and service provider networks, enabling scalable segmentation, resiliency, and operational simplicity. The 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Whether you’re building a data center fabric, a DCI solution, or a service provider edge platform, these bundles give you a head start with pre-integrated capabilities aligned to real deployment models.
More Than a Toolkit—A Production-Ready Control Plane
One of the unique aspects of OcNOS CP is its flexibility.
You can use it as:
- A source-code platform, integrating specific protocols into your own system
- Or a fully functional control plane, ready to plug into your data plane
This modular approach means you can adopt it at your own pace—whether you’re enhancing an existing product or building something entirely new.
It’s a model trusted by over 300 OEMs, including companies like Fortinet, A10 Networks, and F5, along with multiple Tier-1 service providers.
A Platform with Deep Roots—and a Forward Focus
OcNOS CP isn’t new—but that’s exactly the point.
With over 25 years of development behind it, it’s one of the most battle-tested control plane platforms in the industry. Today, it continues to evolve with modern capabilities like EVPN, Segment Routing, and support for high-speed optical technologies such as 400G ZR/ZR+.
Combined with IP Infusion’s broader OcNOS portfolio—spanning both control plane and full networking systems—it forms the foundation for an ecosystem of over 600 customers worldwide.
Final Thoughts
OcNOS CP gives product teams a different path: start with a proven control plane, accelerate development, and focus on what truly differentiates your product.
Because in today’s networking landscape, the winners aren’t just the ones who build the best systems—they’re the ones who get there first.
