- Overlay network protocols implementation (VXLAN, GRE, NVGRE)
- Third party network stack protocols integration (Quagga, OpenSwitch, MetaSwitch, Aricent)
- Hardware offloading and VNF acceleration (DPDK, SR-IOV)
- Network operating system integration and development (OvS, OVN, OCP, SAI, FBOSS, SONiC, OpenSwitch, Linux Switchdev)
- South-bound interface development and integration (P4 Runtime, OpenFlow, SNMP, NETCONF, OVSDB)
- North-bound API and Cloud integration; management and orchestration (OpenStack, OPNFV, Kubernetes, Azure)
- SDN application and controller development (OpenDaylight, ONOS, CORD)
Benefit from P4 - one of the hottest trends in Networking! In contrast to OpenFlow, it takes network switch management to the next level by bringing programmability to the forwarding plane. PLVision has already started applying P4 in a Networking project for a large global semiconductor vendor.
