-Open vSwitch is a production quality, multilayer virtual switch licensed
-under the open source Apache 2.0 license.  It is designed to enable
-massive network automation through programmatic extension, while still
-supporting standard management interfaces (e.g. NetFlow, sFlow, RSPAN,
-ERSPAN,  CLI).  In addition, it is designed to support distribution
-across multiple physical servers similar to VMware.s vNetwork distributed
-vswitch or Cisco.s Nexus 1000V.
-
-Open vSwitch can operate both as a soft switch running within the
-hypervisor, and as the control stack for switching silicon. It has been
-ported to multiple virtualization platforms and switching chipsets. It
-is the default switch in the Xen Cloud Platform and also supports Xen,
-XenServer, KVM, and VirtualBox. The bulk of the code is written in
-platform-independent C and is easily ported to other environments.
-
-This package will build kernel modules that will be uses as replacements
-for the bridge modules included with the stock Linux kernel.  Open
-vSwitch includes a kernel module if you wish to use the standard Linux
-bridge utils to manage it.

-Here are some scripts that I've written for use with Xen at my site.
-In order to use these scripts with your Xen installation you'll need to copy
-both the network-openvswitch and vif-openvswitch files to your
-/etc/xen/scripts directory.  You can instruct Xen to use these scripts by
-editing your /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp file and specifying these scripts as
-the default network-script and vif-script.
-
-For example, here are the entries in my xend-config.sxp file:
-
-  (network-script 'network-openvswitch netdev=eth2 bridge=ovs0')
-
-  (vif-script 'vif-openvswitch bridge=ovs0')
-
-If your network interface card and attached network switch support VLAN
-tagged traffic, you can place virtual machines within a seperate VLAN by
-appending a '.' and the VLAN tag number you wish the domain to use.  For
-example, to have all domains default to VLAN 2 you can do the following:
-
-  (vif-script 'vif-openvswitch bridge=ovs0.2')
-
-You can also specify tagged traffic in the domain configuration file.
-
-If you are hosting a hardware virtualized domain understand that the
-/etc/xen/scripts/qemu-ifup script is run instead of the vif-script specified
-in the xend-config.sxp file.  You'll need to edit this file to add the port
-to the vswitch instead of using the brctl (unless of course you are using
-the appropriate kernel module to control the vswitch using brctl.)  Here is
-a snippet from my qemu-ifup to handle hardware virtualized ports:
-
-  if lsmod | grep -c openvswitch_mod 1> /dev/null && ! lsmod | grep -c brcompat_mod 1> /dev/null
-  then
-      ovs-vsctl -- --may-exist add-port $bridge $1
-  else
-      brctl addif $bridge $1 || true
-  fi
-
-This doesn't handle tagged traffic.  I'll leave that as an exercise for you.
-
-Enjoy.
