SONiC

SONiC(Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) is an open-source network operating system based on Linux that runs on switches from multiple vendors and ASICs. SONiC offers a full-suite of network functionality that has been production-hardened in the data centers. It offers users the flexibility to create the network solutions they need while leveraging the collective strength of a large ecosystem and community. The open-source SONiC project is available at GitHub (https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/wiki)
