16 | Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized | |
17 | environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features | |
18 | expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained | |
19 | programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This | |
20 | control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is | |
21 | particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, | |
22 | which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the | |
23 | need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. | |
24 | ||
25 | The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet | |
26 | forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, | |
27 | which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and | |
28 | translate it into packet processing rules. | |
29 | ||
30 | See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace | |
31 | utilities. | |
