WATCH NOW
Over the past decade Open networking and Linux networking have been well accepted and the new normal in enterprise and cloud data centers. Recently announced project DENT provides a platform to bring Open Linux Networking to campus and edge networking ecosystem players. DENT strives to build an Open Network Operating system based on Linux standard networking switchdev hardware acceleration model. This will enable networking hardware vendors to leverage the same benefits that all Linux hardware do today: Open Linux firmware management, platform driver infrastructure, Linux networking protocols, tools and ecosystem. With DENT, every switch is basically a Linux server with multiple data-plane ports. In edge deployments where rack space is critical, native Linux networking architecture can optimize, unify and simplify the infrastructure. In this talk the speakers will cover DENT architecture, Edge use case running DENT and demonstrate a cloud edge application running on the Linux switch.
