Layer 2 or Layer 3 Overlay Networking

Recursive Next-Hop Resolution with MPLS Next-Hop

Introduces the ability for OcNOS to resolve recursive BGP and static routes in the default VRF using MPLS transport paths, allowing seamless packet forwarding across a BGP-free MPLS core. It supports BGP-Free Core deployments by recognizing MPLS LSPs (LDP, RSVP-TE, and SR-MPLS) as valid forwarding options, ensuring scalable, resilient, and simplified core designs with improved failover through MPLS ECMP and protection mechanisms.

For more details, refer to the Recursive Next-Hop Resolution with MPLS Next-Hop section in the OcNOS Layer 3 Guide, Release 7.0.0.

Flow-Aware Transport Label for EVPN over MPLS

OcNOS introduces Flow-Aware Transport (FAT) label support to enable per-flow entropy for ECMP load balancing in EVPN MPLS networks. Enhances traffic distribution, improves core utilization, and reduces congestion in data center and large-scale EVPN deployments.

For more details, see the Flow-Aware Transport for EVPN over MPLS section in the OcNOS Multi-Protocol Label Switching Guide, Release 7.0.0.

SNMP Traps for TWAMP

OcNOS introduces two new SNMP traps, twamp-overall-rate-crossed and twamp-overall-rate-crossed-clear, to enhance traffic monitoring. These traps provide real-time notifications when the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) rate limit is triggered or cleared.

For more information about these TWAMP SNMP traps and their specific OIDs, refer to the TWAMP for Client and Server with SNMP topic in the OcNOS Layer 3 Guide, Release 7.0.0.
