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

29 To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be
34 config OPENVSWITCH_GRE
35 tristate "Open vSwitch GRE tunneling support"
36 depends on OPENVSWITCH
37 depends on NET_IPGRE_DEMUX
40 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create GRE
43 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
47 config OPENVSWITCH_VXLAN
48 tristate "Open vSwitch VXLAN tunneling support"
49 depends on OPENVSWITCH
53 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create vxlan vport.
55 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
59 config OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE
60 tristate "Open vSwitch Geneve tunneling support"
61 depends on OPENVSWITCH
65 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create geneve vport.
67 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
