History
IP Infusion was founded in 1999 by Kunihiro Ishiguro and Yoshinari Yoshikawa. The company's technical lineage stems from GNU Zebra, an open-source routing software suite developed by Ishiguro in 1996.[2] While the open-source codebase later forked into the Quagga and FRRouting projects, Ishiguro and Yoshikawa commercialized the technology as ZebOS through IP Infusion.
The ZebOS platform was developed as a modular routing and switching stack for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to integrate into carrier-grade hardware. In March 2006, the company was acquired by ACCESS CO., LTD. to facilitate the integration of networking protocols into mobile and embedded devices.[3]
In July 2018, IP Infusion acquired Northforge Innovations, a Canadian software consulting firm specializing in carrier-grade networking and 5G technology, to increase its engineering capacity for disaggregated networking solutions.[4]
Products
The company's primary software platform is OcNOS, a Linux-based network operating system designed to run on third-party ("whitebox") hardware. It is available in variants tailored to different network roles, including service provider networks (OcNOS SP), data center environments (OcNOS DC), control-plane applications for equipment manufacturers (OcNOS CP, formerly ZebOS), and a flexible all-in-one version (OcNOS Flex) intended to bridge legacy and open architectures.
OcNOS has received MEF 3.0 certification for Carrier Ethernet standards, documenting compliance for services such as E-Line, E-Tree, and E-LAN.[5]
