VelOS-SP

VelOS SP is a carrier-grade network operating system purpose-built for service provider networks -- delivering full IP/MPLS, precision timing, and segment routing on whitebox hardware, with seamless integration into existing OSS/BSS and network management systems through open standards. It is the carrier-grade NOS that frees operators from proprietary lock-in without compromising on protocol depth or network resilience.

Why VelOS-SP
Service provider networks are not data centre networks, and they should not be served by a data centre NOS with service provider features bolted on. VelOS SP is purpose-built from the ground up for the demands of telecom and ISP environments -- every protocol, every feature, and every operational workflow is designed for service provider networks. VelOS SP delivers the full IP/MPLS protocol stack that carrier-grade networks demand: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and Segment Routing (SR-MPLS and SRv6). From mobile backhaul to metro aggregation to core routing, VelOS SP provides the protocol depth and resilience that operators have relied on for decades -- now available on open whitebox hardware, with native integration into existing OSS/BSS toolchains and network management systems. Carrier-grade reliability is not optional in service provider networks -- it is the baseline. VelOS SP delivers precision timing with IEEE 1588v2 and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) with CFM and Y.1731, and Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for sub-second failover. Combined with AI-enhanced traffic engineering that brings machine learning to wide-area network operations, VelOS SP is the carrier-grade NOS built for the networks of today and the demands of tomorrow.

Key benefits

What Makes VelOS SP Powerful

VelOS SP is purpose-built for telecom and ISP networks, delivering carrier-grade performance, scalability, and reliability. It supports a full IP/MPLS stack with advanced routing and traffic engineering capabilities. With precision timing, fast failover, and seamless OSS/BSS integration, VelOS SP enables efficient operations on open hardware while eliminating vendor lock-in and ensuring future-ready networking.

Protocol Depth

Full IP/MPLS stack: BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, Segment Routing (SR-MPLS, SRv6), and Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN). VelOS SP is purpose-built for service provider networks, not a data centre codebase with SP features bolted on. Every routing protocol and service capability is designed for carrier-grade environments from the ground up.

Multi-Service Flexibility

Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN), Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN), Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), and EVPN services on a single platform. Support mobile backhaul, business VPN, and wholesale services simultaneously -- reducing the number of platforms to manage and simplifying network operations.

Precision Timing

IEEE 1588v2, SyncE, and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) synchronisation built in. Nanosecond-class timing for 5G backhaul and fronthaul deployments is a core capability, not an optional add-on. Mobile operators get the synchronisation accuracy their radio access networks demand.

AI-Enhanced and SDN-Ready

AI-enhanced traffic engineering and predictive path optimisation bring machine learning to wide-area network operations. Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) support enables integration with external Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controllers, giving operators a clear path to network programmability and centralised traffic management.

VelOS SP Architecture

The VelOS SP architecture separates the control plane, data plane, and management plane for service provider environments. The control plane houses the full IP/MPLS routing protocol suite -- BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, and Segment Routing -- alongside the precision timing subsystem and OAM framework. The data plane handles high-performance MPLS label switching and service encapsulation on Broadcom routing silicon. The management plane exposes Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF), gRPC Network Management Interface (gNMI), and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interfaces for OSS/BSS integration.

AI NETWORKING CAPABILITIES

AI-ENHANCED OPERATIONS

Machine learning capabilities are integrated directly into the VelOS SP control plane -- not offered as a separate overlay product or a bolt-on analytics module. Intelligence is embedded where it matters: in the network itself.

AI-Enhanced Traffic Engineering

Machine learning models analyse traffic patterns and predict demand shifts across the wide-area network. Rather than relying solely on static routing policies or reactive reconvergence, VelOS SP continuously adapts forwarding paths based on observed and predicted traffic behaviour. Automated path optimisation reduces manual intervention and improves service quality during traffic surges and network events.

Predictive Path Optimisation

Proactive rerouting based on predicted congestion rather than reactive reconvergence after failure. VelOS SP anticipates traffic bottlenecks before they materialise, shifting traffic to optimal paths ahead of congestion events. Operators experience smoother traffic distribution, fewer service-level agreement breaches, and faster response to network changes.

Anomaly Detection

Continuous monitoring of network behaviour to identify unusual traffic patterns, potential faults, and security anomalies before they impact service. VelOS SP establishes baseline behaviour models and alerts operators when deviations are detected -- reducing mean time to detect and mean time to repair. Integrated alerting ensures that network operations teams can act on intelligence rather than react to outages. VelOS SP brings intelligence to the network edge -- reducing operational complexity while improving service reliability across telecom and ISP environments.

PROTOCOL AND FEATURE DEPTH

VelOS SP delivers the full protocol depth that service provider networks demand -- from core MPLS routing to precision timing and SDN-ready management.
