Update on compatible Switches - Maybe SONiC?
fischerdouglas opened this issue · comments
I looked in the official IXPManager documentation and I didn't find explicit references about which switch platforms are supported in integrations and automations.
I also had a quick look on github for the IXP Manager Provision Templates, but could only find references to Arista-EOS and Cumulus.
The most explicit reference in public documentation that I could find was in the PDF of the APRICOT presentation, on page 11.
But it's been 5 years since then.
Which makes me believe that probably new platforms could have been added.
Would it be possible to get any update on this?
We are considering adopting IXP-Manager for a small IXP initiative that we have.
But the idea at first would be to use white-label switches with SONiC, or IP-Infusion's OCNOS v6 which is what the switches that were made available to the project are running.
But we don't have any references on how either of the two platforms would behave in integrations and automations with IXP Manager.
A complementary suggestion would be to add the predominant platform in the IXP network to the user-list.
@fischerdouglas we use GH issues for bug reports only. Can you bring up this topic on ixpmanager@inex.ie?
