 Open vSwitch is a multilayer software switch licensed under the open
 source Apache 2 license.  Our goal is to implement a production
 quality switch platform that supports standard management interfaces
-(e.g. NetFlow, sFlow(R), RSPAN, ERSPAN, IOS-like CLI), and opens the
-forwarding functions to programmatic extension and control.

 Open vSwitch can also operate, at a cost in performance, entirely in
 userspace, without assistance from a kernel module.  This userspace
