SONiC Switch State Service (SwSS)
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:26 reviews, 12 commits, 16 PRs in 1 year 1 month
Contributions summary:Shlomi primarily contributed to the SONiC Switch State Service (SwSS) by optimizing the initialization of flex counters to improve boot time. Their work involved delaying the population of flex counter statistics until the counters are enabled, preventing unnecessary hardware access during the boot process. This was achieved by modifying the `PortsOrch` and `FlexCounterOrch` components and creating/modifying tests to verify the new behavior. They also improved the performance of the counter by polling only configured ports for buffer queue and PG counters.
