| Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized |
| environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features |
| expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained |
| programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This |
| control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is |
| particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, |
| which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the |
| need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. |
| |
| The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet |
| forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, |
| which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and |
| translate it into packet processing rules. |
| |
| See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace |
| utilities. |
