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.

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.
