AT&T is driving the white box football down the field again, announcing Friday that it has put its specifications for a distributed disaggregated chassis (DDC) white box architecture into the Open Compute Project (OCP.)
The carrier’s DDC design, which was built on Broadcom’s powerful Jericho2 family of merchant chips, aims to define a standard set of configurable building blocks on less costly service-class routers ranging from a single-line card systems, known as “pizza boxes,” to large, disaggregated chassis clusters.
