Open vSwitch Extension for Hyper-V Vswitch
==============
**Brief description**
The following project defines a Hyper-V virtual switch forwarding extension, with the goal of providing the same set of tools available on Linux with a seamless
integration in the Hyper-V networking model, including fully interoperable GRE and VXLAN encapsulation.
--------------
**How to deploy manually**
Build the solution openvswitch\openvswitch.sln.
Copy over the generated openvswitch.cat, openvswitch.inf, openvswitch.sys.
Use the script found under Scripts\install.cmd to install the driver.
Remember to have testsigning enabled (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553484%28v=vs.85%29.aspx).
Also to uninstall the driver use Scripts\uninstall.cmd.
Further documentation in how to setup an environment can be found under:
http://www.cloudbase.it/open-vswitch-on-hyper-v/
