PLVision’s OCP Global Summit Engagement
Join PLVision at the OCP Global Summit for the following sessions:
- vSONiC + MPLS: Evaluating MPLS to Segment Routing Migration by Leonid Khedyk, CTO, and Taras Chornyi, Director of Open Networking Solutions and Strategy, on October 14, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm PDT, at SONiC Booth Demos. This demo will present a virtualized SONiC environment built as a proof of concept, extending SONiC’s capabilities to support seamless migration from legacy MPLS networks to Segment Routing (SR-MPLS and SRv6). The reproducible lab setup highlights critical control-plane behaviors, architectural improvements, and the building blocks required for carrier-grade transport. What attendees will experience:
- A virtual SONiC instance running MPLS and Segment Routing control-plane protocols
- MPLS label distribution and SR path setup in a simulated network topology
- Challenges, limitations, and considerations for hardware-based deployments
- Practical insights into SONiC’s evolution for enabling smooth MPLS-to-SR migrations in modern networks
- SONiC-on-Bare Metal: How Lightweight Can SONiC Be While Still Remaining SONiC? by Leonid Khedyk, CTO, and Taras Chornyi, Director of Open Networking Solutions and Strategy, on October 17, 9:45 am PDT, at the Extended SONiC Workshop. As open networking extends beyond hyperscale data centers, demand is rising for SONiC in smaller, resource‑constrained environments – edge, campus, enterprise, and telco access networks, where a full‑scale SONiC deployment may be overkill. SONiC transcends containerization; it embodies modularity, openness, and consistent operations. In this session, we’ll explore SONiC’s foundational architecture and investigate how far we can streamline a bare‑metal SONiC installation without sacrificing its essence:
- The core components of SONiC: Debian, SAI, Redis, Docker, Switch State Service (SwSS), and more
- The defining attributes of the SONiC NOS
- Docker’s role in SONiC and the real‑world trade‑offs when you remove it
- Technical challenges and opportunities of running SONiC directly on hardware
- Compatibility factors and migration strategies for bare‑metal SONiC
Join us as we question long‑standing assumptions about SONiC’s architecture and tackle the practical considerations of adopting a bare-metal SONiC approach.
