I just got hired here!

Arista Networks - Software Engineer - May 2018...June 2021

Software-defined networking features for Broadcom StrataDNX network ASIC's



• Policy-based Routing
  • Implemented in-place update for policy-based routing to make most config changes hitless (previously, 100+ millisecond outage during changes)
  • Optimized configuration processing from 15+ minutes to less than 1 second by removing unnecessary copying in config-session mode.


• BGP Flowspec
  • Added best-effort hardware programming for BGP Flowspec to improve resource exhaustion scenarios. EOS 4.23.1
  • Fixed performance regressions in hardware programming, reducing processing time for large policies from 120+ seconds to less than 60 seconds, allowing unreasonably large policies (exceeding hardware limits) to be processed efficiently. EOS 4.24.1


• CPU Traffic Policy
  • Ported to Jericho2 chip, enabling support on 7280R3 series


• C++, Python, GDB, perf, Linux, Networking
