Open Networking Foundation

ONF’s CORD is a complete integrated platform that can be used to transform the edge into an agile service delivery platform enabling operators to deliver innovative next-generation services. Mininet open source is a widely used virtual test bed and development environment specifically designed for SDN which can be used on any laptop or PC. Open Information Modeling and Tooling (OIMT) is a project targeted at evolving open information models and associated open source tooling software that guides development of SDN platform frameworks and interfaces used to control, manage and orchestrate SDN Networks. Open Transport Configuration and Control (OTCC) is a project to promote common configuration and control interfaces for transport networks in SDN using open source software and software-defined standards. XOS is an integral component of CORD and is a model-based platform for assembling, controlling, and creating services. After an incredible 13 year run over which time ONF has built and launched numerous open source projects into the ecosystem, the ONF has now graduated the work into independent projects hosted by the Linux Foundation (read the press release). The ONF’s existing Technical Steering Teams (TSTs) leading each project will continue to guide the technical work.
