The Open Networking Foundation (ONF) is a non-profit organization led by network operators. Its goal is to advance networking technology through the use of software-defined networking (SDN) and network disaggregation, utilizing a white box economics model and open source platforms. PalC Networks, as a member of the ONF, has extensive experience in assisting operators in deploying ONF solutions in their networks. Additionally, PalC Networks aids vendors in testing and validating their products within ONF solutions, helping them to obtain certification and badges
Solution Overview
PalC Expertise
CORD PON Aggregation Switch
The CORD platform leverages SDN, Cloud technologies to build agile datacenters for the network edge. Pal C services, a GPON aggregation switch functionality in a CORD deployment has been acheived.
Porting commercial-NOS on to Marvell Gen-6 switching ASICs
The case study involves porting a Network Operating System (NOS) from Marvell Gen-5 switching ASICs (AC3X, Aldrin, Aldrin2) to Marvell Gen-6 devices (AC5X/P, Aldrin3, Falcon). The NOS is used in access and aggregation switches/routers for FTTH networks, supporting a wide range of protocols and features essential for these deployments.
