Open Compute Project To Develop A Network Switch, A First-Of-Its-Kind Open Source Project

Open Compute will develop a specification and a reference box for an?open networking switch and will do so from the ground up in the fashion of open-source software efforts, such as those developed by the Apache Foundation. The OS-agnostic, top-of-rack switch will be the first developed as an open-source project with the spec developed by the Open Compute community. "Closesd switches are still the primary way things work," said?Frank?Frankovsky in an interview this week. Frankovsky is a Facebook vice president in hardware design and supply operations who plays a focal role at Open Compute. "...Networking has always had a black box nature to it. You give it a packet and it gives it back on the other end."
