Profile to reflect a common understanding of Network Equipment ProviderseIU needs PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- The SCOPE Alliance, an association of leading Network Equipment Providers (NEPs), has released an updated version of its Carrier Grade Linux A specification that defines an industrial strength operating system environment using Linux. Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) covers hardware, availability, clustering, security, serviceability and performance. (CGL See Carrier Grade Linux. ) Operating System Profile, Version 1.1. Following the publication of the initial Carrier Grade Linuxe profile (Ver 1.0) in June 2006, the SCOPE Alliance and OSDL successfully aligned the needs of the NEPs as defined in the SCOPE profile with OSDLeIUs CGL specification, roadmap and registration process for CGL Linux distributions  The external links in this article or section may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies. as reflected in CGL Requirements Definition 3.2 (CGL 3.2). The updated CGL Profile reflects the expectations of the NEPs for a Linux Operating System used in Carrier Grade Base Platforms when creating Control and Service Plane Network Elements. The Scope profile describes a subset of the mandatory CGL 3.2 features and prioritizes the CGL 3.2 "roadmap" items that are necessary to support Carrier Grade Base Platforms (CGBP CGBP Certified Global Business Professional CGBP Certified Green Building Professional ) for NEPs as well as a identifying extended NEP NEP: see New Economic Policy. requirements not currently addressed in the CGL Requirements Definition 3.2. The SCOPE Alliance and OSDL plan to continue their efforts to maintain alignment between the needs of NEPs and future Requirements Definitions for CGL. The updated Linux profile (Ver 1.1) is available immediately and may be viewed and downloaded from the Documents area of the SCOPE Alliance website www.scope-alliance.org. About SCOPE Alliance The SCOPE Alliance is an association of Network Equipment Providers aimed at accelerating the deployment of Carrier Grade Base Platforms for service provider applications.
