What is SONiC?
SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) is an open-source network operating system based on Linux. It disaggregates network hardware from software, allowing users to choose the best-of-breed hardware and software components. SONiC is commonly used in data centers and cloud environments to build scalable and flexible network infrastructure, offering features like routing, switching, and network management.

Switchdev is a Linux kernel driver model that allows treating Ethernet switches as network interface cards (NICs). SONiC relies on switchdev to interact with the underlying switch ASIC.
FRR
FRR (Free Range Routing) is an IP routing protocol suite for Linux and Unix platforms which provides routing protocols like BGP, OSPF, ISIS, etc. SONiC uses FRR as one of its routing protocol daemons.
SAI
SAI (Switch Abstraction Interface) is a standardized interface that allows a network operating system to program the forwarding plane of a network ASIC. SONiC uses SAI to abstract the underlying hardware.
