OcNOS 6.6.1 Available Now: Full AI Fabric on Tomahawk 5, SR Enhancements, and EVPN Expansion

OcNOS 6.6.1 is now generally available. This release delivers the complete AI fabric solution on Broadcom Tomahawk 5-based open hardware — building on the PFC and ETS foundations introduced in OcNOS 6.6 to provide a production-ready lossless RoCEv2 fabric for AI GPU clusters. Service provider deployments benefit from additional Segment Routing enhancements and expanded EVPN coverage.

Complete AI Fabric on Broadcom Tomahawk 5

OcNOS 6.6.1 DC delivers full lossless AI fabric support on Tomahawk 5 platforms including the UfiSpace S9321-64EO (64×800G OSFP, 51.2 Tbps). This includes Priority-Based Flow Control (PFC), Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), DCBX auto-negotiation, Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), and RDMA-aware queue management — all validated for production RoCEv2 GPU workloads.

Segment Routing Enhancements (SP)

OcNOS 6.6.1 SP expands Segment Routing capabilities with additional Flex-Algo improvements including refined delay advertisement thresholds, improved algorithm convergence during topology changes, and enhanced SR-TE policy path computation. The RSVP Auto-Bypass feature is also introduced in this release — see the RSVP Auto Bypass guide 자세히 보기.

EVPN Service Expansion

OcNOS 6.6.1 expands EVPN coverage with improvements to EVPN-ETREE service handling, enhanced multi-homed ESI mass withdrawal timing, and improved EVPN IRB (Integrated Routing and Bridging) gateway performance for data center environments requiring simultaneous L2 and L3 forwarding within the same VNI.
