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. | |
22 | ||
23 | See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace | |
24 | utilities. | |

27 | called openvswitch. | |
