It is designed to enable -massive network automation through programmatic extension, while still -supporting standard management interfaces (e.g. NetFlow, sFlow, RSPAN, -ERSPAN, CLI). In addition, it is designed to support distribution -across multiple physical servers similar to VMware.s vNetwork distributed -vswitch or Cisco.s Nexus 1000V. - -Open vSwitch can operate both as a soft switch running within the -hypervisor, and as the control stack for switching silicon. It has been -ported to multiple virtualization platforms and switching chipsets. It -is the default switch in the Xen Cloud Platform and also supports Xen, -XenServer, KVM, and VirtualBox. The bulk of the code is written in -platform-independent C and is easily ported to other environments. - -This package will build kernel modules that will be uses as replacements -for the bridge modules included with the stock Linux kernel. Open -vSwitch includes a kernel module if you wish to use the standard Linux -bridge utils to manage it. |
