To foster open source development and research of server-based networking, Netronome utilizes multiple open source venues such as openvswitch.org, kernel.org, dpdk.org, p4.org, openstack.org and others. Network datapath programming is an integral part of server-based networking and Netronome supports and maintains the code repository and development portal www.Open-NFP.org for this purpose.
Host software drivers and Open vSwitch-related patches in the Agilio Software product are open-sourced and available both from the Netronome GitHub directories and www.Open-NFP.org. Agilio Software drivers are up-streamed for inclusion in Linux kernel and user space modules at www.kernel.org and www.dpdk.org. Netronome makes significant contributions to the Open vSwitch community at www.openvswitch.org.
Netronome is actively involved in many Data Center, Cloud and Telco networking standards bodies. Check out the full list of open source projects and standards bodies we participate in here.
