Hi everyone, We recently announced the availability of our porting of Open vSwitch to Microsoft Hyper-V:
http://www.cloudbase.it/open-vswitch-on-hyper-v/ The code for both the OVS userspace tools and the Hyper-V kernel extension is available as open source (Apache 2) and we’d be very happy to contribute it to the OVS community. Repositories: https://github.com/cloudbase/openvswitch-hyperv https://github.com/cloudbase/openvswitch-hyperv-kernel The highlights include support for GRE and VXLAN tunnels with full compatibility for interoperability scenarios (e.g. OVS on KVM), e.g.: a vm running on Hyper-V can seamlessly communicate with a vm running on KVM over a VXLAN tunnel. Please see the above blog post for a complete example and additional details. OpenStack is one of our main use cases for this effort, but any other OVS scenario can also benefit from Windows / Hyper-V support. Changes in the userspace tools can be submitted for review against the current OVS main repository, while the Hyper-V kernel extension (where the large bulk of the porting effort resides) can be contributed as a separate project or integrated in the current repository based on community preferences. I’ll leave architectural and implementation details to a follow up. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Alessandro
