- ---help---
- 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.
- To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be
- called openvswitch.
- If unsure, say N.
