The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) hosted the first interoperability plugfest for open networking last month to validate the multi-vendor compatibility of optical transceivers and cables with bare-metal open switches running Networking Operating Systems (NOS) software.
“This is a very important milestone in the open networking movement” said Bob Thurston, Director of Integrated Engineering from Fidelity Investments. “Customers will soon be able to purchase open networking equipment with confidence that entire solutions can be assembled and will operate as expected.”
