SONiC alternatives
SONiC is an open source network operating system that is specifically designed for the networking world and tailored for networking applications at the data center layer, the edge, and the campus. It is based on Linux that runs on switches from multiple vendors and ASICs. It is designed to solve the problems of interoperability and vendor lock-in. It makes it as easy as possible to get going, with as few prerequisites as possible and as little of a barrier to entry as possible.
It is written in a way that makes it easy and simple to add additional capabilities. You can add a feature, like BGP or STP, or you can take the whole switch and turn it into a router that does whatever you need. SONiC has a number of features to help it operate and control the underlying hardware in a network switch. This open platform allows you to do what you want with your switch instead of being limited by the vendor’s customization. It bids teams the flexibility to create network solutions tailored to their needs while providing the overall capability to handle a large ecosystem and community.
