Re: Comparison of freeware open source switch software?

[Hugo Slabbert <hugo () slabnet com>]

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:
