About Carrier Grade Linux (CGL)

The CGL workgroup has two main functions. First, interface with network equipment providers and carriers to gather requirements and produce specifications that Linux distribution vendors can implement. Second, to take unimplemented requirements and foster development projects that will meet these requirements and assist in their upstream integration.

In The Press

Telecoms networks - Carrier Grade Linux comes of age

The working group used the CGL 4.0 requirements as a starting point and split them into requirements that already exist in some mature open source project and requirements that do no[t] exist today.


The COTS Ecosystem--Strength in numbers

Individually, the Linux Foundation Carrier Grade Linux Work Group is working on the next version of our specification. The goal this time around is to create a specification that will lead, over a reasonable amount of time, to actual code.
--Dan Cauchy, Chairman of Carrier Grade Linux Workgroup
