9	  Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
10	  environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
11	  expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
12	  programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.  This
13	  control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
14	  particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
15	  which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the
16	  need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
17
18	  The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
19	  forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
20	  which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
21	  translate it into packet processing rules.
22
23	  See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
24	  utilities.

26	  To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be
27	  called openvswitch.
