- Open vSwitch is a production quality, multilayer, software-based, Ethernet
- virtual switch. It is designed to enable massive network automation through
- programmatic extension, while still supporting standard management interfaces
- and protocols (e.g. NetFlow, sFlow, SPAN, RSPAN, CLI, LACP, 802.1ag). In
- addition, it is designed to support distribution across multiple physical
- servers similar to VMware's vNetwork distributed vswitch or Cisco's Nexus
- 1000V.
