In addition to supporting a variety of features 14ccb1352eSJesse Gross expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained 15ccb1352eSJesse Gross programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This 16ccb1352eSJesse Gross control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is 17ccb1352eSJesse Gross particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, 18ccb1352eSJesse Gross which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the 19ccb1352eSJesse Gross need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. 20ccb1352eSJesse Gross 21ccb1352eSJesse Gross The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet 22ccb1352eSJesse Gross forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, 23ccb1352eSJesse Gross which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and 24ccb1352eSJesse Gross translate it into packet processing rules. 25ccb1352eSJesse Gross 26ccb1352eSJesse Gross See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace 27ccb1352eSJesse Gross utilities. 28ccb1352eSJesse Gross 29ccb1352eSJesse Gross To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be 30ccb1352eSJesse Gross called openvswitch. 31ccb1352eSJesse Gross 32ccb1352eSJesse Gross If unsure, say N. 33fb825a55SPravin B Shelar 34fb825a55SPravin B Shelarconfig OPENVSWITCH_GRE 3562b9c8d0SThomas Graf tristate "Open vSwitch GRE tunneling support" 36fb825a55SPravin B Shelar depends on OPENVSWITCH 37*b2acd1dcSPravin B Shelar depends on NET_IPGRE 3862b9c8d0SThomas Graf default OPENVSWITCH 39fb825a55SPravin B Shelar ---help--- 40fb825a55SPravin B Shelar If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create GRE 41fb825a55SPravin B Shelar vport. 42fb825a55SPravin B Shelar 43fb825a55SPravin B Shelar Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size. 44fb825a55SPravin B Shelar 45fb825a55SPravin B Shelar If unsure, say Y. 4658264848SPravin B Shelar 47dcc38c03SThomas Grafconfig OPENVSWITCH_VXLAN 48dcc38c03SThomas Graf tristate "Open vSwitch VXLAN tunneling support" 49dcc38c03SThomas Graf depends on OPENVSWITCH 50dcc38c03SThomas Graf depends on VXLAN 51dcc38c03SThomas Graf default OPENVSWITCH 52dcc38c03SThomas Graf ---help--- 53dcc38c03SThomas Graf If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create vxlan vport. 54dcc38c03SThomas Graf 55dcc38c03SThomas Graf Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size. 56dcc38c03SThomas Graf 57dcc38c03SThomas Graf If unsure, say Y. 58dcc38c03SThomas Graf 59f5796684SJesse Grossconfig OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE 6062b9c8d0SThomas Graf tristate "Open vSwitch Geneve tunneling support" 61f5796684SJesse Gross depends on OPENVSWITCH 6211e1fa46SJohn W.
