   SONiC, Meet Cisco 8000
  
  
   Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) is a Linux-based open-source network operating system that runs on switches from multiple vendors and ASICs.
		Cisco now supports SONiC on fixed and modular Cisco 8000 Series routers.
  
 
 
  
   
    
   
  
  
   
    Why SONiC on Cisco 8000?
   
   
    
     SONiC on Cisco 8000 provides a more robust, open ecosystem for your network.
    
    
     SONiC is built on Switch Abstraction Interface that helps in accelerating hardware innovation.
