May 1, 20262026-05 Monthly Summary for facebook/fboss. This period focused on delivering business value by enhancing observability and reliability through targeted changes to SaiTracer logging and ACL byte counting. Key outcomes include improved logging capabilities in SaiTracer via a global mysid entry in the SAI replayer C code, and a corrected ACL byte counter calculation that fixes a packet size measurement off-by-one after SDK 14 changes. These efforts strengthen debugging, metrics accuracy, and overall system stability in production.
