Facebook open source Open/R, distributed network routing software

Over the years, the Facebook development team has been creating new software and hardware, which has since passed its technology to the open source community for learning. Now, Facebook also announced open source modular network routing software Open / R.

Launched in 2016 as a software foundation for all hardware running on Terragraph, Open / R is a distributed web application platform that provides a framework for testing new, faster and more efficient routing routines to guide the high-speed data movement, Give developers full flexibility.

Open/R is currently only available for internal Facebook use, but officials said they hope to work with other carriers to extend the functionality of the tool.

Open/R open source, other developers can use any, and even dig out of Facebook did not think of the function to play a more powerful role, the development team said: think about the stimulus.
