The userspace (ovs-vswitchd) uses ioctls to communicate with the kernel module
(openvswitch_mod.ko) to have it do things like add and remove flows. That's
the function that handles the ioctl requests.
The code in repository no longer uses ioctls, but instead uses netlink. We're
planning to re
The README in the distribution is a good place to start, since it describes
most of those programs. You can see it online here:

For the switch itself, you'll want to look at ovs-vswitchd.c.

Hi
Can someone please explain the purpose of the function named
"openvswitch_ioctl()" in datapath.c file. I have found no documentation
about this function. Any help will be appreciated

Hi
I am a newbie to openvswitch. As a starting point, I was looking at the
'actual' main function of openvswitch. I found around 35 main functions in
the code (the most of them belongs to 'test'). But there are also many other
main() functions, like in ovs-appctl.c, ovs-controller.c, ovs-discover.

OVS does not support private VLANs. I don't know of plans to add
support.

You may be running into a VLAN-related bug in some Linux network
drivers. You can use the ovs-vlan-test program to check for that. If

hi openvswitch users,
I have two servers, one running linux kernel 2.6.38(gentoo) and the
other running ubuntu (10.10)
I tried to setup a vLANs environment using latest snaphot
(openvswitch-HEAD-19a87e3).
I followed the steps written in Install.Linux, and everything was good
on the both servers.
Hello,
I've seen on this mailing a subject about implementation of "pvid" in
openvswitch, any news about that ?
In hardware switch, pvid is the ability for a specific port to have a port
with two states : a default vlan (~= access port mode) and trunk mode.
