14 Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
15 environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features
16 expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
17 programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This
18 control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
19 particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
20 which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the
21 need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
23 The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
24 forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
25 which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
26 translate it into packet processing rules.

37 tristate "Open vSwitch GRE tunneling support"
38 depends on OPENVSWITCH
42 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create GRE
45 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.

50 tristate "Open vSwitch VXLAN tunneling support"
51 depends on OPENVSWITCH
55 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create vxlan vport.
57 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
61 config OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE
62 tristate "Open vSwitch Geneve tunneling support"
63 depends on OPENVSWITCH
67 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create geneve vport.
69 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
