DENT: Enterprise Edge Open Source Network Operating System
summary
dentOS is a Linux-based, open ecosystem that moves from kernel switchdev drivers to the OCP PSI switch abstraction, enabling a shift from a two-CPU architecture to single-CPU mode and making new silicon vendors easier to onboard. Releases show concrete features: FRRouting for BGP/OSPF/IS-IS, PoE controller, port isolation/mirroring, 802.1x, QoS (fleet rollout by end of June), IGMP snooping and hardened egress policies. Keysight runs automated testbeds, an OCP Enterprise Edge Gateway reference box (COMe slot, Wi‑Fi/LTE options) targets $1.5–2.2k and ODM samples in Q4/Q1.
