Towards Carrier Grade Linux Platforms Ibrahim Haddad Ericsson Research 8400 Decarie Blvd, Montreal Quebec H4P 2N2, Canada [email protected] Abstract Traditionally, communications and data service networks were built on proprietary platforms that had to meet very specific availability, reliability, performance, and service response time requirements. Today, communications ser- vice providers are challenged to meet their needs cost-effectively for new architectures, new services, and increased bandwidth, with highly available, scalable, secure, and reliable systems that have predictable performance and that are easy to maintain and upgrade. This paper presents the technological trend of migrating from proprietary to open platforms based on software and hardware building blocks. The paper focuses on the ongoing work by the Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) working group at the Open Source Development Labs, examines the CGL architecture, the re- quirements from the latest specification release, and presents some of the needed kernel features that are not cur- rently supported on Linux. 1.

  • Montavista Linux Carrier Grade Edition
    MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition WHITE PAPER ABSTRACT: Communications networks are very different from other kinds of computing applications. Networks require both very high reliability and very high performance. Not only must they process large volumes of data at high speed, but they must do so while limiting their downtime to minutes per year. Network failures can have huge economic consequences and can even result in the loss of life. Additionally, in this post-9/11 world, failure also has a national security dimension. This technical whitepaper introduces MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition— what it is, how it evolved, and how it provides a foundation for developing and deploying carrier-grade applications like those described above.

  • Carrier Grade Virtualization
    Carrier Grade Virtualization Leveraging virtualization in Carrier Grade Systems Abstract Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) have been building networking infrastructure equipment able to deliver “carrier grade” services, typically mission-critical services such as voice telephony. In decades past, NEPs have achieved high degrees of availability through purpose-built hardware and software implementations. Today they increasingly build on COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) hardware and Open Source Software (OSS), freeing their engineering resources to focus on core telephony competencies. The move to COTS and OSS requires that these hardware and software components be available from an ecosystem of suppliers, and that they interoperate seamlessly. Bodies such as The Linux Foundation (LF), the Service Availability Forum (SA Forum) and PICMG have defined standards and specifications such as carrier grade OSes (CGLinux), Service Availability Forum APIs and AdvancedTCA hardware to target carrier grade applications. Recent advances have made virtualization appealing for carrier class equipment by permitting significant cost reduction through consolidation of workloads and of physical hardware. Virtualization also transparently lets NEPs and other OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) leverage multi-core processors to run legacy software designed for uniprocessor hardware. However, virtualization needs to meet specific requirements to enable network equipment deploying this technology to meet industry expectations for carrier grade systems. This
