On May 8, 2013, an effort to define an open [[network switch]] was announced.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.opencompute.org/news/up-next-for-the-open-compute-project-the-network|title=Up next for the Open Compute Project: The Network|author=Jay Hauser for Frank Frankovsky|date=May 8, 2013|work=Open Compute blog|access-date=June 16, 2019}}</ref> The plan was to allow Facebook to load its own [[operating system]] software onto the switch. Press reports predicted that more expensive and higher-performance switches would continue to be popular, while less expensive products treated more like a [[commodity]] (using the [[buzzword]] "top-of-rack") might adopt the proposal.<ref>{{Cite news |title= Can Open Compute change network switching? |first= David|last= Chernicoff |work= ZDNet |date= May 9, 2013 |url= https://www.zdnet.com/article/can-open-compute-change-network-switching/ |access-date= July 9, 2013 }}</ref>
The first attempt at an open networking switch by Facebook was designed together with Taiwanese ODM [[Accton Technology Corporation|Accton]] using [[Broadcom Corporation|Broadcom]] Trident II chip and is called Wedge, the Linux OS that it runs is called FBOSS.<ref>{{cite web|title=Facebook Open Switching System (FBOSS) from Facebook|url=https://www.sdxcentral.com/projects/facebook-open-switching-system-fboss/reports/2017/open-source-networking/|website=[[SDxCentral]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181001142442/https://www.sdxcentral.com/projects/facebook-open-switching-system-fboss/reports/2017/open-source-networking/|archive-date=October 1, 2018|via=[[Internet Archive]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://code.facebook.com/posts/681382905244727/introducing-wedge-and-fboss-the-next-steps-toward-a-disaggregated-network/|title=Introducing "Wedge" and "FBOSS," the next steps toward a disaggregated network|website =Meet the engineers who code Facebook|date=June 18, 2014|access-date = 2016-05-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://code.facebook.com/posts/843620439027582/facebook-open-switching-system-fboss-and-wedge-in-the-open/|title=Facebook Open Switching System ("FBOSS") and Wedge in the open|website=Meet the engineers who code Facebook|date=March 10, 2015|access-date = 2016-05-13}}</ref> Later switch contributions include "6-pack" and Wedge-100, based on Broadcom Tomahawk chips.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://code.facebook.com/posts/203733993317833/opening-designs-for-6-pack-and-wedge-100/|title=Opening designs for 6-pack and Wedge 100|website=Meet the engineers who code Facebook|date=March 9, 2016|access-date = 2016-05-13}}</ref> Similar switch hardware designs have been contributed by: [[
