Open-source SONiC powers hyperscale clouds, yet turning it into a box you can pull off the shelf is a very different game. Partnering with a well-known brand, we had to make community SONiC into a mass-market ToR that survives enterprise QA.
This talk tells the stories—and shares the results.

We’ll walk through the engineering trenches:
• The L2+/L3 and other gaps we had to close
• Challenges in platform support
• Productizing SONIC - what is missing
• Missing parts - what people expect and what they get.

We will show Live booth demo: real switch, real traffic.
