In addition to supporting a variety of features 11ccb1352eSJesse Gross expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained 12ccb1352eSJesse Gross programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This 13ccb1352eSJesse Gross control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is 14ccb1352eSJesse Gross particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, 15ccb1352eSJesse Gross which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the 16ccb1352eSJesse Gross need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. 17ccb1352eSJesse Gross 18ccb1352eSJesse Gross The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet 19ccb1352eSJesse Gross forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, 20ccb1352eSJesse Gross which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and 21ccb1352eSJesse Gross translate it into packet processing rules. 22ccb1352eSJesse Gross 23ccb1352eSJesse Gross See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace 24ccb1352eSJesse Gross utilities. 25ccb1352eSJesse Gross 26ccb1352eSJesse Gross To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be 27ccb1352eSJesse Gross called openvswitch. 28ccb1352eSJesse Gross 29ccb1352eSJesse Gross If unsure, say N. 30fb825a55SPravin B Shelar 31fb825a55SPravin B Shelarconfig OPENVSWITCH_GRE 32*62b9c8d0SThomas Graf tristate "Open vSwitch GRE tunneling support" 33fb825a55SPravin B Shelar depends on INET 34fb825a55SPravin B Shelar depends on OPENVSWITCH 35*62b9c8d0SThomas Graf depends on NET_IPGRE_DEMUX 36*62b9c8d0SThomas Graf default OPENVSWITCH 37fb825a55SPravin B Shelar ---help--- 38fb825a55SPravin B Shelar If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create GRE 39fb825a55SPravin B Shelar vport. 40fb825a55SPravin B Shelar 41fb825a55SPravin B Shelar Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size. 42fb825a55SPravin B Shelar 43fb825a55SPravin B Shelar If unsure, say Y. 4458264848SPravin B Shelar 4558264848SPravin B Shelarconfig OPENVSWITCH_VXLAN 46*62b9c8d0SThomas Graf tristate "Open vSwitch VXLAN tunneling support" 4758264848SPravin B Shelar depends on INET 4858264848SPravin B Shelar depends on OPENVSWITCH 49*62b9c8d0SThomas Graf depends on VXLAN 50*62b9c8d0SThomas Graf default OPENVSWITCH 5158264848SPravin B Shelar ---help--- 5258264848SPravin B Shelar If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create vxlan vport. 5358264848SPravin B Shelar 5458264848SPravin B Shelar Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size. 5558264848SPravin B Shelar 5658264848SPravin B Shelar If unsure, say Y. 57f5796684SJesse Gross 58f5796684SJesse Grossconfig OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE 59*62b9c8d0SThomas Graf tristate "Open vSwitch Geneve tunneling support" 60f5796684SJesse Gross depends on INET 61f5796684SJesse Gross depends on OPENVSWITCH 62*62b9c8d0SThomas Graf depends on GENEVE 63*62b9c8d0SThomas Graf default OPENVSWITCH 64f5796684SJesse Gross ---help--- 65f5796684SJesse Gross If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create geneve vport. 66f5796684SJesse Gross 67f5796684SJesse Gross Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size. 68
