To my understanding a lot of the ONOS work was continued under Aether. And the ONOS controller work is mostly under the banner of µONOS. See this post for more: Fundamentals of the µONOS SDN Platform­­ <https://opennetworking.org./news-and-events/blog/fundamentals-of-the-%c2%b5onos-sdn-platform/> .

One project I thought was especially interesting was ONOS.... it seemed to really suggest it would transform Telcos in the Whitebox craze timeline. As Openflow and such fell off, I remember ONOS pivoting to SR-TE & PCE... but I haven't heard about it in quite a while.

Is anyone using this in production? The websites seem to still exist.

Just curious.

Hi Paulo, One use case is the AmLight ExP, which has been using SDN in production for a long time. Their team has members from Brazil, and they collaborate in projects to develop the technologies they have been using to support large scale scientific projects. https://www.amlight.net/?page_id=1177 https://www.gna-g.net Warmest regards, Alex https://www.gna-g.net alex.moura@kaust.edu.sa On Wed, Dec 3, 2025 at 05:51 Paulo Henrique via NANOG <nanog@lists.nanog.org> wrote:

Hi Mark and everyone!

I don't use ONOS yet.

I'm looking for someone that using SDN in broadband network. I saw a lot of projects like ONOS, Sonic and others, and it get my attention. I would like to know if someone had tried or use it and, how was the experience in general, not just with ONOS.

Which are the key points? What hardware you tried to use?

Ps. I apologize for my poor english.
