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

26 To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be
27 called openvswitch.
