One NOS.
Core to cell site to broadband.
OcNOS-SP delivers the complete SP routing stack — IP core, metro transport, and 5G backhaul — on validated open hardware. One CLI, one support contract, 60–70% lower CapEx and OpEx than proprietary chassis.
Carrier-grade routing.
Open hardware. No lock-in.
OcNOS-SP is IP Infusion's carrier-grade, disaggregated network operating system for service providers. It delivers SR-MPLS, EVPN, IEEE 1588v2 Class C/D precision timing, MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet, IPoDWDM, and BGP full-table on validated open hardware — from the IP core through metro transport to 5G cell site gateways. One NOS. One CLI. One support contract.
SP Networks is the routing foundation.
The metro segment adds coherent optical transport. The access edge connects subscribers. Each layer builds on OcNOS-SP.
Familiar CLI. Zero retraining.
OcNOS-SP uses an industry-standard CLI modeled on familiar SP conventions. Your existing playbooks work from day one. Same CLI from CSR to core.
From IP Core to Cell Site — One Platform.
Architecture flows left to right: Internet/peering → IP core → metro transport → 5G backhaul → radio. All tiers run OcNOS-SP. Hover each node for platform and protocol details.

Internet-scale routing. Open silicon. No proprietary lag.
The IP core demands full BGP table scale, sub-second failure recovery, and traffic-engineered paths — all at multi-terabit density. OcNOS-SP delivers this on Broadcom Qumran 2A and Jericho 2C+ silicon, matching legacy proprietary core router capabilities at open hardware economics.
SR-MPLS with Flex-Algo & TI-LFA
RFC 8402 Segment Routing with IS-IS/OSPF SR extensions. Flex-Algo (RFC 9350) for constraint-based path computation. TI-LFA sub-50ms loop-free fast reroute — eliminates legacy RSVP-TE complexity.
BGP Full-Table at Internet Scale
2M+ routes on Broadcom Qumran2, multi-hop eBGP, RPKI origin validation, BFD sub-second detection, wire-speed ECMP across 64 equal-cost paths for load balancing to multiple peering partners.
Core / PE Platforms
IP core deployments use OcNOS-SP PLUS — the full feature tier unlocking advanced analytics, IPoDWDM management, and full BGP table scale on the same hardware.
Eliminate the transponder chassis. Route and light wavelengths from one CLI.
IP over DWDM converges routing and optical into a single control plane. OcNOS-SP natively manages 400G coherent pluggable optics directly through the routing CLI — collapsing the traditional transponder chassis and reducing metro infrastructure cost by up to 60%.
OpenZR+ & OIF 400ZR Management
Configure modulation (DP-16QAM to DP-QPSK), FEC mode, laser frequency tuning, and monitor pre-FEC BER, OSNR, and chromatic dispersion — all from standard OcNOS CLI without a separate optical element manager.
MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet
E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree, and E-Access services. OcNOS-SP is the first open NOS MEF 3.0 certified. ITU-T Y.1731 OAM for strict metro SLA monitoring.
The full IPoDWDM story — validated transceiver ecosystem, platform tables, DCI use cases — is on the dedicated solution page.

Eliminating transponder shelves at metro nodes reduces per-site footprint and power by 30–40%. At 10 nodes, typical hardware CAPEX savings reach $2–5M.
Precision timing at the cell edge. No dedicated timing appliance.
5G NR requires sub-100ns phase alignment at every base station. OcNOS-SP implements the full TIP DCSG specification on compact, low-power open platforms — delivering IEEE 1588v2 Class C and Class D accuracy directly from the routing layer, without separate timing hardware at every site.
IEEE 1588v2 Class C/D Timing
ITU-T G.8265.1, G.8275.1 (boundary clock), G.8275.2 profiles. SyncE G.811 for frequency. Sub-100ns phase accuracy for 5G NR fronthaul and midhaul — validated on compact open hardware.
TIP DCSG Compliance
Full DCSG specification: L3 routing, SR-MPLS, HQoS, and BGP signaling for mobile xHaul aggregation. Single-vendor solution covering both software and compact open hardware.
EVPN Multi-homing (ESI)
Standard-based EVPN Ethernet Segment Identifiers for all-active multi-homing — sub-second redundancy for cell sites without proprietary MLAG.
DCSG Validated Platforms
Mobile operators using OcNOS-SP on UfiSpace compact platforms have validated sub-100ns phase accuracy for 5G NR — bypassing dedicated hardware timing appliances entirely.
Per-subscriber shaping at line rate. Deep-buffer silicon. Open economics.
Broadband aggregation requires intensive per-subscriber traffic management. OcNOS-SP delivers hierarchical QoS and EVPN-VXLAN on deep-buffer merchant silicon — handling microbursts from gigabit PON networks without packet drops, at materially lower cost-per-subscriber than proprietary BNG chassis.
Hierarchical QoS (HQoS)
Per-subscriber traffic shaping and scheduling at line rate on deep-buffer Qumran silicon. Enforces tiered broadband plans without external policy servers.
EVPN-VXLAN Aggregation
Modernize legacy L2 rings with EVPN-VXLAN or MPLS data planes. Multi-tenant broadband traffic isolated end-to-end without forklift of existing OLT infrastructure.
For ISPs, WISPs, FTTx operators, and middle-mile transport, the Broadband & Access solution page covers the full deployment stack.

The full SP stack. Without the proprietary lag.
Every protocol that matters for SP networks — implemented correctly, RFC-compliant, on open silicon.
SR-MPLS, Flex-Algo & TI-LFA
RFC 8402 Segment Routing over MPLS. IS-IS and OSPF SR extensions with node and adjacency SIDs. Flex-Algo (RFC 9350) for constraint-based path computation per traffic class. TI-LFA sub-50ms loop-free fast reroute — no legacy RSVP-TE state required.
400G IPoDWDM — OpenZR+ & 400ZR
Native QSFP-DD coherent pluggable management from the OcNOS CLI. Configure modulation, FEC, laser frequency. Monitor pre-FEC BER, OSNR, and chromatic dispersion. No separate optical management plane. See the IPoDWDM solution page for the full validated transceiver ecosystem.

Validated platforms. One support contract.
IP Infusion jointly validates each hardware platform with the ODM partner. Single support contract covers both OcNOS software and open hardware — no vendor finger-pointing, 2-week lead times.
SP Networks is the foundation.
Here's what builds on it.
The optical metro layer and the subscriber access layer are both OcNOS-SP — the same platform, the same management system.
IPoDWDM — Converged IP/Optical
The metro and long-haul optical extension. Manage 400G/800G coherent wavelengths from the same OcNOS CLI. Eliminates transponder chassis across your metro ring. Validated transceiver ecosystem: Ciena, Furukawa, SmartOptics, NEC, and more.
Broadband & Access Networks
The subscriber edge. ISPs, WISPs, and FTTx operators on OcNOS-SP. HQoS per-subscriber shaping, deep-buffer silicon, and SR-MPLS middle-mile transport feeding back into the SP core.
AI Fabric — GPU Transport
SP traffic terminating at AI data centers. OcNOS-DC handles the lossless RoCEv2 GPU fabric; OcNOS-SP IPoDWDM provides the coherent optical link between SP edge and DC fabric.
Nextlink Internet: 1M+ subscribers. One open NOS.
"OcNOS-SP gave us a carrier-grade routing platform across our entire footprint. We eliminated the wait times for proprietary chassis, reduced CAPEX drastically, and now operate edge-to-cell site routing from a single, consistent software stack."
