We are excited to announce the third release of DANOS, the open source Network Operating System (NOS). DANOS is part of the Linux Foundation and based upon AT&T's Vyatta NOS.

DANOS 2009 has many new features and numerous bug/security fixes. Of particular interest is the:

  • integration of the nDPI Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine into the match criteria for firewall rules,

  • introduction of FRR's Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) routing protocol

  • support for protocol-dependent mapping for Souce Network Address Translation (SNAT)

  • ability to apply firewall rules to all router originated packets

  • enhanced observability into the behaviour of the stateless/stateful firewall, zone-based firewalls and NAT

  • upgrade of the Linux kernel to 5.4 and DPDK to 19.11,

Details on how to download the ISO and access the full release notes are available at DANOS 2009 .
