 8	  Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
 9	  environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
10	  expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
11	  programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.  This
12	  control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
13	  particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
14	  which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the
15	  need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
16
17	  The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
18	  forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
19	  which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
20	  translate it into packet processing rules.
21
22	  See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
23	  utilities.
24
25	  To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be
26	  called openvswitch.
27
28	  If unsure, say N.
