12	  Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
13	  environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
14	  expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
15	  programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.  This
16	  control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
17	  particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
18	  which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the
19	  need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
20
21	  The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
22	  forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
23	  which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
24	  translate it into packet processing rules.
25
26	  See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
27	  utilities.

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

32	  If unsure, say N.

40	  If you say Y here, then Open vSwitch module will be able to pass
41	  packets through conntrack.
42
43	  Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
