OcNOS-SP: the service provider router.
Carrier-grade router NOS for SR-MPLS, SRv6, MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet, 5G xHaul timing, and 400G IPoDWDM. One NOS and one complete router, from the cell site to the IP core, on validated Edgecore and UfiSpace open hardware.
One NOS. One router. Every SP role.
OcNOS-SP is the software, but IP Infusion ships the complete router. One vendor for the NOS, the qualified hardware, and the support contract, from the cell site to the IP core.
The complete router, on one PO
Hardware, the OcNOS-SP license, and 24/7 TAC on a single PO and a single SLA. No separate procurement for the NOS and the bare-metal router, and no NOS-vs-hardware blame loop when a link goes down at 3 a.m.
One NOS across every SP role
The same OcNOS image, CLI, and automation run the 5G cell-site router, the metro and aggregation nodes, the SR-MPLS core, and the IPoDWDM edge. One toolchain for the whole network, not a different OS per box.
The full carrier-grade feature set is in the SKU
SR-MPLS, SRv6, MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet, IEEE 1588v2 timing, and 400G coherent optics come with the edition. No per-feature license tax on the capabilities a carrier network actually needs.
Pre-loaded and lab-validated as an OcNOS System
Want it racked and running? OcNOS-SP ships pre-loaded and validated on Edgecore and UfiSpace platforms, tested and shipped by IP Infusion as a complete OcNOS System.
OcNOS SystemsCarrier-grade features. Open economics.
Carrier Ethernet Services on Open Hardware
MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet delivers the E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree, and E-Access service types carrier SLAs rely on. Y.1731 OAM, CFM, and hQoS included.
Sub-50ms TI-LFA Convergence
Topology-Independent Loop-Free Alternates pre-compute backup paths for all primary routes. Link or node failure triggers protection in under 50ms without waiting for IGP reconvergence.
400G ZR/ZR+ in a Single Chassis
OpenZR+ coherent optics in QSFP-DD eliminates dedicated transponder shelves. DCI and metro spans run on the same platform running IP routing.
IEEE 1588v2 & SyncE for xHaul
G.8275.1 full on-path timing and G.8275.2 partial timing profiles. SyncE frequency synchronization. Meets 3GPP and O-RAN timing requirements for fronthaul and midhaul.
Full Internet BGP Table
Peer with every Tier-1 transit provider simultaneously. RPKI origin validation, BGP-LS topology export to controllers, BMP for route monitoring. Tested at production Tier-1 scale.
Single Support Contract: Software + Hardware + RMA
One SLA across OcNOS-SP, the validated Edgecore or UfiSpace platform, and RMA logistics. No multi-vendor finger-pointing when a Tier-1 core router takes a hit at 3 a.m.
One OcNOS router at every tier.
From internet peering and the SR-MPLS core to the 5G cell site and the IPoDWDM edge, every node is a complete OcNOS router. One NOS, one CLI, one vendor, from end to end.
SKU & platform comparison
OcNOS-SP ships in four editions. All include unified IPI support for both software and hardware.

Open routing on the merchant silicon you choose.
The same carrier-grade feature set as Cisco, Juniper, and Nokia, delivered on merchant silicon and open hardware. Decouple the NOS from the box to lower CapEx and OpEx, with one accountable vendor for all of it.
Want the platform-by-platform detail? For a device-level map against specific gear, see OcNOS vs Cisco (Nexus, NCS, 8000) and OcNOS vs Juniper (MX, PTX, ACX, QFX), each with a CLI translation guide. OcNOS-SP is also a supported alternative to DIY SONiC, DANOS, VyOS, and FRR: a commercial carrier-grade NOS with 24/7 TAC and a single-vendor SLA, without the internal integration and third-party support those require.
