Next Generation IP Routing
Flock Networks® software allows customers to quickly develop internet network devices that have unrivalled security, stability and scalability.
The IP routing suite source code is available to license. For more information please read the Flock Internet Routing Engine (FIRE) brochure.
“Graphiant have built a scalable and highly integrated, modern Network OS. Flock delivered what was required to offer a fully functional routing stack in a contemporary package, along with the ability to support the unique innovations required for Graphiant on our mission to build the next-generation SD-WAN. This has all come together in the Graphiant Network Edge, wherein Flock is one of the pillars.“ Stefan Olofsson, Founder and CTO, Graphiant
FIRE has been used in production for over four years, deployed on thousands of hardware devices and virtual machines, located on every continent. It has never crashed or even had a memory leak. Devices never need to be restarted and can run unattended for years.
Using over 30 years of network architecture and network operations experience, we have created the third generation of IP routing suite.
FIRE uses thread pools to achieve linear scale vs router CPU cores. On a router with four logical CPU cores it can signal one billion BGP route updates across one thousand BGP neighbors in under 90s from startup. If that is too slow for your network requirements then just choose a router with more CPU cores.
Most IP routing suites in production today were originally implemented decades ago in the insecure C or C++ languages. IP routers are the most critical part of the internet infrastructure. Implementing IP routers using an insecure language is no longer acceptable.
FIRE is written exclusively in the Rust language. Rust guarantees memory safety at compile time. Rust code has been shown to reduce the most serious security issues (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure’s) by around 70% when compared to C / C++.
