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