Summary
Disaggregated Networking is a concept whereby network hardware is separated from software, so that the network operator can choose hardware and software vendors separately. This provides more flexibility to the operator, reduces costs, prevents vendor lock-in and reduces the risk of supply chain disruption.
IP Infusion
IP Infusion is a market leader of disaggregated networking solutions. OcNOS, their network OS, supports a wide list of networking hardware from UfiSpace, Edgecore, Dell and others, and allows network operators to build flexible and cost efficient solutions for Telecommunications and Data Center networking.

Segment Routing solution with TD and OcNOS
Together with IP Infusion, we have developed and validated a Segment Routing solution that provides full Traffic Engineering capabilities using OcNOS and Traffic Dictator. The solution is based on open-standard protocols such as BGP-LS and PCEP and provides all typical SR-TE features such as:
- CSPF based on affinity or explicit path – with most optimal segment lists in the industry
- Path diversity
- ECMP and anycast SID support in SR-TE policies
- Egress Peer Engineering
The solution is fully functional and provides a viable alternative to Cisco, Juniper, Nokia, Huawei and other large vendor solutions; at a much lower cost and with more flexibility.

VyOS Networks
VyOS networks (https://vyos.io/) providers a virtual networking OS that delivers enterprise-grade networking performance through a modern software-defined architecture. VyOS runs on commodity server hardware (x86-64/ARM), virtualized environments (VMware/KVM/Hyper-V and others) and public cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP).
Network operators benefit from VyOS scalability, ease of deployment and low licensing costs.
SR-TE solution with TD and VyOS
VyOS supports Segment Routing with MPLS and SRv6. Traffic Dictator enhances VyOS SR functionality with a rich set of Traffic Engineering features:
- CSPF based on affinity or explicit path – with most optimal segment lists in the industry
- Path diversity (disjoint groups)
- ECMP and anycast SID support in SR-TE policies
The solution is based on open-standard protocols such as BGP-LS and BGP-LU and provides a viable alternative to Cisco, Juniper, Nokia, Huawei and other large vendor solutions; at a much lower cost and with more flexibility.
