PINS is a P4Runtime based network switch stack built on top of the SONiC framework. The PINS stack combines the benefits of the SDN controller with SONiC and brings optionality to SDN networking. This presentation will cover the architecture, the high-level design, and the various supplementary features the team has implemented as part of the stack. We will also discuss in detail some of the use cases that are enabled by the PINS stack.
