Zusammenfassung:SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) is instantiated in a chassis-based networking switch device to enable control plane functionality for the line cards and backplane. The SONiC platform may be configured with a routing table and BGP (border gateway protocol) to provide routing capabilities for the application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) operating on each respective line card. Ethernet ports are utilized within the chassis to enable the utilization of standardized networking protocols, such as protocols on the data link layer (layer 2) within the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model. The implementation of SONiC and standardized networking techniques creates a simplified and more proficient routing system in the chassis framework.
