In response to your first question, ovs contains remote interfaces for
managing the configuration state and the forwarding state (see
http://www.openflowswitch.org/ for details on the switch control
protocol). These are sufficient for creating a logical switch
abstraction across multiple physical servers.
I'm interrested in Open vSwitch. But after reading and playing a bit with it, I
have still a question.
The README
(http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=HEAD)
talk about distribution across several phys servers:
In addition to exposing standard control and visibility
interfaces to the virtual networking layer, it was designed to support
distribution across multiple physical servers
I don't see how Open vSwitch can do that ? Is it a future feature ?
I've also try to make some test and it fails so far. I wanted to had a bonding
(eth0 + eth1 mode 1) into an Open vSwitch configuration. As soon as I add the
bonding into the switch, I cannot reach the server. No interface answer any
request. But all works OK without adding a bonding. I tried on Centos 5.3.
