There is an accelerating trend in the industry towards a "white box" solution for network disaggregation and switching. The value of that market will exceed US$1 billion this year and is expected to account for 20 per cent of it by 2020. However, there is a missing link and that is the all-important software component. Hence the OpenSwitch initiative, which is an open source. Linux-based NOS offering freedom of innovation whilst maintaining stability and minimising vulnerability.
