Test Report and Learning Summary

 

Executive Summary

 

This first Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) PlugFest brings the community together to put SONiC under the test for both the end users and vendors in this open-source ecosystem. This report shares the results and key findings.

 

Keysight Technologies and Aviz Networks are neutral members hosting this event to bring users and vendors to one level playing field to test and discuss the present and future of SONiC. Our goal is to accelerate SONiC adoption by answering two questions: What do end users of SONiC want? Is SONiC ready for deployment?

 

We had an overwhelming response from the end user community with 20+ companies across the globe joining to form the SONiC customer advisory board (CAB) and 6 participating vendors from application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to original design manufacturer (ODM) companies.
