    This document discusses Microsoft's global network and software-defined networking (SDN) strategies for wide area network (WAN) scenarios. It notes that Microsoft has one of the largest private networks in the world, with over 8,000 ISP sessions, 130 edge sites, and 33,000 miles of fiber. It describes how the company uses regional networks, high availability designs, and SDN to manage this infrastructure. It then discusses challenges around reducing hardware dependencies and lifecycle efforts. It proposes using SONiC, an open-source networking software, to help address these challenges for both peering routers at the edge and backbone routers across the global WAN.
