NGINXPlus R17 and later support TLSv1.3, and since NGINX Plus R29 it is enabled by default. However, not all operating systems supported by NGINX Plus ship with OpenSSL 1.1.1 as required to support TLSv1.3. To determine if an operating system supports TLSv1.3, consult the vendor documentation.

In linux the folders are separated by foreslashes so /var/lib/mysql as an example. Windows on the other hand uses backslashes so C:\var\lib\mysql. I have a folder named beanstore I need to verify exists on every system from the relevance. Will I need to look for both /beanstore or C:\beanstore to cover both windows and linux systems?


One more question actually. @JasonWalker in my relevance part of the security of my action script is to verify the SHA1 values of particular files that exist out on the linux and windows devices but im struggling with coming up with the basic syntax for that relevance.


I was thinking maybe it needs to be something along the lines of if operating system as lowercase contains linux is true then continue else false but I am unclear syntactically how to put that together.


My Linux knowledge is limited. 555 makes the file executable but does it know what to execute it with or with what shell? Maybe a more explicit approach is to copy the file as an .sh then execute it with /bin/sh or /bin/bash, eg wait /bin/sh -c "(pathname of client folder of current site) & "/myscript.sh"


AlliedWare Plus is the operating system for Allied Telesis high-end switch and router products. In commercial use since 2008, AlliedWare Plus was specified and built to be a system with the best possible characteristics to meet the challenges of future networking requirements.


AlliedWare Plus can be deployed on a wide variety of network devices, both large and small in terms of memory and CPU resource. This flexibility is achieved as much by design and architecture, as it is by being built from components that themselves support a wide variety of platforms.


AlliedWare Plus can take on new code from a wide variety of sources, including Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software, open-source projects, and code written within Allied Telesis. While the modular architecture of AlliedWare Plus is important in reducing the effects of all this code on other parts of the code base, it is still a complex undertaking that requires best-of-breed development processes and tools, as well as extensive testing. The development of AlliedWare Plus is mostly carried out using Scrum, which is a highly productive and reliable Agile software development framework.


This white paper describes the characteristics and features of AlliedWare Plus that meet the modern challenges for networking devices, and also explains how and why AlliedWare Plus is so well-positioned for future developments. It provides ample evidence of the effectiveness of the AlliedWare Plus operating system, both right now, and well into the future.


AlliedWare Plus is fundamentally based on the Linux kernel. This is responsible for basic process control in the system, which includes starting and ending processes, scheduling process execution and allowing processes to communicate with each other. The kernel is also responsible for the management of other resources in the system, such as memory and access to hardware devices.


The architecture of any computer system is focused less on what the system code does, and more on how it does it. How is the code organized? What underlying mechanisms does it use to carry out fundamental tasks? How well does it perform? Although large parts of AlliedWare Plus are based on the Linux operating system, there are still significant aspects of the architecture that must be executed correctly in order to make AlliedWare Plus as good as it can be. These are explained in the following 3 sections.


Most importantly, the architecture is modular. Each different feature operates in its own process in the system, controlled and protected by the kernel and using the kernel to communicate with other processes. If a process is correctly checking its inputs, it cannot be disrupted by the failure of any other process.


In systems without modular architecture, an error can result in the entire system crashing. AlliedWare Plus has modular architecture, so the effects of an unhandled software event are confined to the process within which the event occurred. Other processes continue to run and the system functions as before. The affected process can be restarted and returned to the running system.


Hardware abstraction is another significant aspect of the architecture of embedded systems. A modular architecture is a necessary prerequisite for effective hardware abstraction, but it is not the whole picture. There are also the considerations of how to model different parts of the system in different ways, and how to translate between models.


Some parts of AlliedWare Plus concern themselves with the routing protocols, for example Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), OSPF and BGP. Their operation is expressed in terms of concepts such as routes, next hops and interfaces. These are high-level representations of what lower-level software modules will write into hardware to set up forwarding paths. Hardware abstraction means that different hardware types can be supported without having to change the routing protocol code, or the abstractions that they use. It is the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) that converts requests expressed in these abstract terms to specific hardware related terms relevant to the hardware-level software modules.


With hardware abstraction, it is possible to support new types of hardware without changing the code of the routing protocols. In many cases the HAL is actually provided by the hardware chip vendor, making new hardware support even easier.


The control/data separation implementation in VCStack is proven in the field, having been actively deployed for several years now. It has proven ability to control the full spectrum of Layer 2 and Layer 3 data forwarding, including multicast and IPv6.


As a result, AlliedWare Plus is naturally well-positioned for the development of Software Defined Networking (SDN). The AlliedWare Plus control plane is inherently able to operate independently of the data plane. The implementation of the separated control and data planes is robust and field-hardened, and proven to scale up to networks of thousands of users.


A network consists of multiple layers of equipment operating in unison to carry data from one endpoint to another. The equipment operating in one network layer can differ greatly from the equipment operating in the next layer. Towards the core of the network, the price, complexity, forwarding performance and port count of the equipment increases, often quite sharply.


To this end, Allied Telesis provide the same AlliedWare Plus operating system across a full range of network equipment, from small 10-port Layer 2+ edge switches, up to a 12-slot chassis that can support tens of 10Gbps ports.


The Inter-Process Communication (IPC) between different modules has been extensively analyzed and reworked, to fit with the principle that the level of IPC activity should only increase linearly with the number of interacting modules, rather than increase as the square of the number of interacting modules.


Not only has this work resulted in consistently reliable operation of the very large installed base of low-end equipment running AlliedWare Plus, it has also contributed significantly to the overall robustness and efficiency of AlliedWare Plus.


At the high end of the equipment scale, the challenge has been to ensure the software can manage the multi-protocol complexity, and rapid, large, change-overs that characterize the core of a large network.


The Layer 3 switch at the hub of a large network must be utterly reliable at maintaining control of forwarding and routing tables containing thousands of entries. These entries are often generated by multiple different unicast and multicast protocols, and can have complex dependencies on each other. A state change on a core network link can require that these tables are rapidly updated as routes are learnt or withdrawn, or redistributed between protocols, or as the forwarding trees for hundreds of multicast streams require adjustment. These updates must be performed rapidly and in a completely error-free fashion.


Scaling AlliedWare Plus up to meet these core-network requirements has been made possible by a mixture of strong modular design, and multiple iterations of systematic stress testing to hone that design to the necessary level of high reliability.


To take advantage of different processors that are suitable for different network applications, an operating system must be portable across processing platforms. AlliedWare Plus is eminently portable across processors. This is partly due to the inherent portability of the Linux kernel, and partly due to the architecture and coding discipline that has been applied in the development of AlliedWare Plus.


The strong hardware abstraction within the AlliedWare Plus architecture ensures that processor-specific software components are strictly contained and clearly identified. As a result, the demarcations between processor-related software components and processor-agnostic components are unambiguous.


As multicore processors are increasingly utilized in embedded systems, AlliedWare Plus has moved smoothly into the multi-core environment. The multi-threaded nature of the AlliedWare Plus software design, along with the reliable mechanisms within the Linux kernel for allocating different threads to different cores, have enabled AlliedWare Plus to unlock the performance improvements that come with true multicore processing. As the core counts of processors increase, new processor-intensive features will be added to AlliedWare Plus. These can be given their own dedicated cores, and will not impact the performance of existing time-critical functionality.
