--------------------   
Open vSwitch is a production quality, multilayer open source virtual switch. It 
is designed to enable massive network automation through programmatic 
extension, while still supporting standard management interfaces. Open vSwitch 
can operate both as a soft switch running within the hypervisor, and as the 
control stack for switching silicon. It has been ported to multiple 
virtualization platforms and switching chipsets.
