Open vSwitch is a multilayer software switch licensed under the open
|
|
source Apache 2 license. The goal is to implement a production quality
|
|
switch platform that supports standard management interfaces and opens
|
|
the forwarding functions to programmatic extension and control.
|
|
|
|
Open vSwitch is well suited to function as a virtual switch in VM
|
|
environments. In addition to exposing standard control and visibility
|
|
interfaces to the virtual networking layer, it was designed to
|
|
support distribution across multiple physical servers. Open vSwitch
|
|
supports multiple Linux-based virtualization technologies including
|
|
Xen/XenServer, KVM, and VirtualBox.
|
|
|
|
Note: This package builds only the Open vSwitch userspace
|
|
utilities, and it is incompatible with 'openvswitch' package found on
|
|
SlackBuilds.org website. The stock Slackware kernel has been shipping
|
|
Open vSwitch support for a while now, and these utilities take this
|
|
advantage into account while providing a different approach to Open
|
|
vSwitch management.
|
|
|
|
See README.SLACKWARE (which is also installed with the package docs) for
|
|
setup, configuration, and usage hints.
