OpenNSL

Open Network Switch Layer (OpenNSL) is a library of network switch APIs that is openly available for programming Broadcom network switch silicon based platforms. These open APIs enable development of networking application software based on Broadcom network switch architecture based platforms.

The recent inclusion of the APIs needed to enable sFlow instrumentation in Broadcom hardware allows open source network operating systems such as OpenSwitch and Open Network Linux to implement the sFlow telemetry standard.
