The main purpose here is to +add HTB rate limiting and IP/ARP address spoof prevention between domU guests. + +Until openvswitch.conf is present and configured in XEN_CONFIG_DIR path, this +script will behave just like the original one. This package uses /etc/xen config +path by default. + +To enable this script for all guests by default, set xl.conf variable like this: + + vif.default.script="vif-openvswitch-extended" + +Additionally, included is an openvswitch-clean.sh helper script; it can be used +to clean up and (re)apply configuration options found in openvswitch.conf file. +Due to the fact that this script is based on the original script, which you +might already be using, it is easy to switch over. You can start by configuring +openvswitch.conf, xl.conf and finally run helper script to set everything up. + +These scripts were written for my own use, and its possible they have some bugs +or unforeseen deficiencies on your system. In either case, feel free to write +me an email about it. |
