							|  |  |  | 	  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. |
