14 Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
15 environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features
16 expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
17 programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This
18 control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
19 particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
20 which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the
21 need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
22
23 The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
24 forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
25 which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
26 translate it into packet processing rules.
