19 	  Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
20 	  environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
21 	  expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
22 	  programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.  This
23 	  control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
24 	  particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
25 	  which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the
26 	  need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
27 
28 	  The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
29 	  forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
30 	  which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
31 	  translate it into packet processing rules.
32 
33 	  See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
34 	  utilities.
