OcNOS 6.5 Generally Available: OpenConfig, 400G Platforms, and SR Enhancements

OcNOS 6.5 is now generally available for service providers and data center operators. This release advances OcNOS automation capabilities with expanded OpenConfig YANG model support, adds new high-density 400G platforms for aggregation and spine deployments, and delivers Segment Routing improvements including the foundations of Flex-Algo for network slicing.

OpenConfig YANG Model Support

OcNOS 6.5 is a significant step forward for vendor-neutral automation. NETCONF clients can now interact with OcNOS switches using standardized OpenConfig YANG data models — in addition to IP Infusion's native models. This allows operators to use a single automation framework across OcNOS and other OpenConfig-capable devices in their network.

New Hardware Platforms in OcNOS 6.5

Segment Routing Enhancements

OcNOS 6.5 delivers Flex-Algo foundation capabilities for IS-IS SR deployments. Operators can define custom routing algorithms with TE-metric and delay-metric optimization types, laying the groundwork for network slicing deployments that arrive fully in OcNOS 6.6.

EVPN-VXLAN Improvements (Data Center)

OcNOS 6.5 DC expands EVPN-VXLAN operational capabilities including improved MAC/IP route withdrawal timing, enhanced VNI-level statistics, and improved VXLAN tunnel encapsulation performance on supported Broadcom platforms.
