In the past, we used to use a lot of proprietary vendors, closed systems, a lot of the protocols, you know, we’re not opened to provide redundancy to our network. We decided to move away from that path, you know, we’d rather move toward more towards an Open Source network. So when we disaggregated our software from our hardware, you know, we actually launched something that we call el nos Linode network operating system, which runs on Linux. It runs our full monitoring and orchestration stack. It uses switch dev to kind of program the forwarding information. So everything is line rate. We actually looked at other Open Source projects like Sonic, and soon I think dent is gaining traction, you know, he’ll nos could spin into one of those. But right now for the features that we need. It serves its purpose.
