BISDN Linux

BISDN Linux Distribution is a custom Linux-based operating system for selected whitebox switches. This lightweight distribution provides a standard Linux environment and includes FRR, as well as most native Linux networking tools out of the box.

BISDN Linux exposes the switch’s ports as Linux network interfaces so that no specialized programs are needed for network configuration. Each port is its own network interface, so you can think of your switch as a Linux server with a lot of network cards.

Specifications

• Based on Linux yocto operating system
• Software built on OF-DPA 3.0
• Deployable via Open Network Install Environment (ONIE)
• Using of-agent as the OpenFlow interface
