Open Network Opimization Platform

Developing OpenNOP has been a huge learning experience for me. I am not what a professional programmer. I don't do it for a living I do find it fun and challenging. Perhaps its simply dreams of grandeur to make wan optimization a commodity rather ... [More] than a luxury but I have been trying to make sure the code I write for OpenNOP as clean, stable and secure as I can. I recently found Coverity Scan a proprietary tool but they allow open source projects use it for free. Its allowed me to find several bugs, improving the code and fixing defects. There are also some interesting reports regarding defects in closed and open source code. http://readwrite.com/2013/05/07/study-reveals-open-source-software-quality-is-higher-than-proprietary-code-up-to-a-point So I have a new code quality goal for OpenNOP to bring its defect density below the LOWEST average of .44. It might be a lofty goal but I think its better to aim high. Currently OpenNOP has around 20k lines of code scanned and a defect density of 1.05. So its not quite to what is considered the "Industry Accepted Standard" of 1.0. However, of those defects 0 of them are high risk. To help meet this goal the development cycle will be tightly integrated with testing to ensure new releases have fewer bugs. Hope that while adding more features and code that the defect density can also be driven down in each new release. [Less]

I am very excited to announce that OpenNOP has reached its first milestone. There will be a new image available shortly based on openSUSE 12.3 and the latest version of OpenNOP. If you prefer to update your existing appliances to the latest version ... [More] checkout this article in the wiki. [Update Appliance to 12.3] Also checkout the tickets to get an idea whats happening for the next release. https://sourceforge.net/p/opennop/feature-requests/ [Less]

There is now an OpenNOP appliance image and new rpm available for download. Fixed some major bugs when processing multiple TCP sessions.

A new RPM of the OpenNOP acceleration software is now available. I will try to get the ISO built and uploaded soon.

I am still in the process of re-branding everything to the new project name. I should have another build of the software available as an rpm soon and then installable ISO sometime after that. Until then you must compile and install the acceleration software manually if you want to test it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

There are now OpenNOP repositories for Debian, Fedora and openSUSE! If you really don't want to use the provided appliance you can download the packages for your favorite distro from the OBS service. ... [More] https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=network%3Aopennop I recommend sticking with the appliance for a single install ready to go package but I know some of you out there will prefer your favorite distro over the appliance or company policy requires you to use a specific distro.
