Cumulus Linux

2016: Cumulus Linux of version 3.2

Cumulus Linux of version 3.2 on the Mellanox switches is accented on helping customers with creation of modern large-scale networks using important protocols, such as PIM and VXLAN Tunnel End Point (VTEP).

Hardware-assisted VTEP in the Mellanox switches, numerous advantages of these switches in performance at last can be introduced about those virtualized networks which are controlled through VMwareNSX, Nuage, Plumgrid or Midokura. Besides to use well beskontrollerny solution based on Cumulus LNV. The release with full support Ethernet VPN which will allow network engineers to pass a way of scaling of the networks to level so-called web scale быстрее and more effectively will be in the nearest future released.

Multicastes it is traditionally used for data transmission of the markets, broadcasting video and other traffic of media and entertainments.

Earlier in the market there were no switches with an ultralow delay and simultaneous support a multicaste and more high-speed interfaces, than 10G. It led to the fact that in development and use of the above-named services "the bottle neck" of speeds 10gbit/page could be potentially considerable noise. With the advent of support PIM switches on bases of a chipset Spectrum fall into a unique state of the switches, only in the market, with an ultralow delay and interfaces 25G and 100G.

Besides, in this release a number of the improvements directed to simplification of work of network engineers and increase in its efficiency is provided. So, the possibility of preserving of a status of a configuration of the device and return to earlier saved to configurations by means of so-called snapshot'ov became available now, and long-awaited Network Command Line Utility (NCLU) does work with the device convenient and available to engineers with any background.
