testing
supplanted by the next major release. The current LTS release is
1.4.x.
+Q: What Linux kernel versions does each Open vSwitch release work with?
+
+A: The following table lists the Linux kernel versions against which the
+ given versions of the Open vSwitch kernel module will successfully
+ build. The Linux kernel versions are upstream kernel versions, so
+ modified Linux kernels modified from the upstream sources may not
+ build in some cases even if they are based on a supported version.
+ This is most notably true of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) kernels,
+ which are extensively modified from upstream.
+
+ Open vSwitch Linux kernel
+ ------------ -------------
+ 1.4.x 2.6.18 to 3.2
+ 1.5.x 2.6.18 to 3.2
+ 1.6.x 2.6.18 to 3.2
+ 1.7.x 2.6.18 to 3.3
+ 1.8.x 2.6.18 to 3.4
+ 1.9.x 2.6.18 to 3.6
+
+ Open vSwitch userspace should also work with the Linux kernel module
+ built into Linux 3.3 and later.
+
+ Open vSwitch userspace is not sensitive to the Linux kernel version.
+ It should build against almost any kernel, certainly against 2.6.18
+ and later.

Q: What features are not available in the Open vSwitch kernel datapath
that ships as part of the upstream Linux kernel?
