Open Lan Switching (OLS)

Open LAN Switching is an initiative under the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) aimed at transforming local area network (LAN) infrastructures. It focuses on promoting open-source solutions and interoperable hardware to create more flexible and cost-effective network environments. By leveraging open standards, Open LAN Switching seeks to:

• Enhance Network Interoperability: Encourage seamless communication between different vendor equipment.

• Reduce Costs: Lower capital expenditures by using commoditized hardware and open software solutions.

• Increase Innovation: Allow more rapid development and deployment of new services and features.

Through collaborative effort, Open LAN Switching aims to redefine network paradigms by enabling a wider ecosystem of vendors and solutions in enterprise networking.
