Just a note that Cumulus is disaggregated and built on FOSS, but it is not free (costs dollars). Some of the below lifted from http://packetpushers.net/virtual-toolbox/list-network-operating-systems/ Other somewhat free options, some user assembly required at times: https://snaproute.com/ https://azure.github.io/SONiC/ http://opennetlinux.org/ https://github.com/facebook/fboss Others that play in this space while not necessarily free: http://www.pica8.com/products/picos https://www.ipinfusion.com/products/ocnos/ -- Hugo Slabbert | email, xmpp/jabber: hugo@slabnet.com pgp key: B178313E | also on Signal On Tue 2018-Jan-09 13:14:10 +0000, Edwin Pers <EPers@ansencorp.com> wrote:

If you're only interested in stuff that goes on iron, openvswitch is out - it's pure software meant to run on hypervisors

I have seen numerous comparisons and RIPE presentations on performance issues of BIRD vs Quagga vs FRR.
I am looking for the same thing for freeware switch software. Has anyone done a feature comparison between: http://openvswitch.org/ https://www.openswitch.net/ https://cumulusnetworks.com/products/cumulus-linux/ ...any other I am missing...
I am familiar with: http://packetpushers.net/open-networking-cheat-sheet/ https://www.networkworld.com/article/2919599/cisco-subnet/clearing-the-fog-a... so to clarify I am interested only in bare-metal or whitebox swicthes and freeware, open source software.
And even better - has anyone done a benchmark to see which performs best?
Thanks, Hank
