Our goal is to implement a production\nquality switch platform that supports standard management interfaces\nand opens the forwarding functions to programmatic extension and\ncontrol.\n\nOpen vSwitch is well suited to function as a virtual switch in VM\nenvironments.  In addition to exposing standard control and visibility\ninterfaces to the virtual networking layer, it was designed to support\ndistribution across multiple physical servers.  Open vSwitch supports\nmultiple Linux-based virtualization technologies including\nXen/XenServer, KVM, and VirtualBox.\n\nThe bulk of the code is written in platform-independent C and is\neasily ported to other environments.  The current release of Open\nvSwitch supports the following features:\n\n    * Standard 802.1Q VLAN model with trunk and access ports\n    * NIC bonding with or without LACP on upstream switch\n    * NetFlow, sFlow(R), and mirroring for increased visibility\n    * QoS (Quality of Service) configuration, plus policing\n    * GRE, GRE over IPSEC, and CAPWAP tunneling\n    * 802.1ag connectivity fault management\n    * OpenFlow 1.0 plus numerous extensions\n    * Transactional configuration database with C and Python bindings\n    * Compatibility layer for Linux bridging code\n    * High-performance forwarding using a Linux kernel module\n\nThe included Linux kernel module supports Linux 2.6.18 and up, with\ntesting focused on 2.6.32 with Centos and Xen patches.  Open vSwitch\nalso has special support for Citrix XenServer and Red Hat Enterprise\nLinux hosts.\n\nOpen vSwitch can also operate, at a cost in performance, entirely in\nuserspace, without assistance from a kernel module.  This userspace\nimplementation should be easier to port than the kernel-based switch.\nIt is considered experimental.\n\nWhat's here?\n------------\n\nThe main components of this distribution are:\n\n    * ovs-vswitchd, a daemon that implements the switch, along with \n      a companion Linux kernel module for flow-based switching.\n\n    * ovsdb-server, a lightweight database server that ovs-vswitchd\n      queries to obtain its configuration.\n\n    * ovs-brcompatd, a daemon that allows ovs-vswitchd to act as a\n      drop-in replacement for the Linux bridge in many environments, \n      along with a companion Linux kernel module to intercept bridge \n      ioctls.\n\n    * ovs-dpctl, a tool for configuring the switch kernel module.\n\n    * Scripts and specs for building RPMs for Citrix XenServer and Red\n      Hat Enterprise Linux.  The XenServer RPMs allow Open vSwitch to\n      be installed on a Citrix XenServer host as a drop-in replacement\n      for its switch, with additional functionality.\n\n    * ovs-vsctl, a utility for querying and updating the configuration\n      of ovs-vswitchd.\n\n    * ovs-appctl, a utility that sends commands to running Open\n      vSwitch daemons.\n\n    * ovsdbmonitor, a GUI tool for remotely viewing OVS databases and\n      OpenFlow flow tables.\n\nOpen vSwitch also provides some tools:\n\n    * ovs-controller, a simple OpenFlow controller.\n\n    * ovs-ofctl, a utility for querying and controlling OpenFlow\n      switches and controllers.\n\n    * ovs-pki, a utility for creating and managing the public-key\n      infrastructure for OpenFlow switches.\n\n    * A patch to tcpdump that enables it to parse OpenFlow messages.\n\nWhat other documentation is available?\n--------------------------------------\n\nTo install Open vSwitch on a regular Linux machine, read INSTALL.\n\nFor answers to common questions, read FAQ.\n\nTo use Open vSwitch as a drop-in replacement for the Linux bridge,\nread INSTALL.bridge.\n\nTo build RPMs for installing Open vSwitch on a Citrix XenServer host\nor resource pool, read INSTALL.XenServer.\n\nTo build RPMs for installing Open vSwitch on a Red Hat Enterprise\nLinux host, read INSTALL.RHEL.\n\nTo use Open vSwitch with KVM on Linux, read INSTALL, then\nINSTALL.KVM.\n\nTo use Open vSwitch with Libvirt, read INSTALL.Libvirt.\n\nTo install Open vSwitch without using a kernel module, read\nINSTALL.userspace.\n\nTo learn how to set up SSL support for Open vSwitch, read INSTALL.SSL.\n\nEach Open vSwitch userspace program is accompanied by a manpage.  Many\nof the manpages are customized to your configuration as part of the\nbuild process, so we recommend building Open vSwitch before reading\nthe manpages.\n\nContact \n-------\n\nbugs@openvswitch.org\nhttp://openvswitch.org/\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcloudbase%2Fopenvswitch-windows-port","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcloudbase%2Fopenvswitch-windows-port","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcloudbase%2Fopenvswitch-windows-port/lists"}
