Facebook Open Switching System (“FBOSS”) and Wedge in the open
https://engineering.fb.com/data-center-engineering/facebook-open-switching-system-fboss-and-wedge-in-the-open/
Today, we are happy to announce the initial release of our Facebook open switching system (code-named “FBOSS”) project on GitHub and our proposed contribution of the specification for our top-of-rack switch (code-named “Wedge”) to the OCP networking project.
The initial FBOSS release consists primarily of the FBOSS agent, a daemon that programs and controls the ASIC. This process runs on each switch and manages the hardware forwarding ASIC. It receives information via configuration files and thrift APIs and then programs the correct forwarding and routing entries into the chip. It also processes packets from the ASIC that are destined to the switch itself, such as control plane protocol traffic, and other packets that cannot be processed solely in hardware.
Our Wedge top-of-rack switch follows this basic design and uses a single Broadcom Trident II ASIC for high-speed forwarding.
