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

33 config OPENVSWITCH_GRE
34 tristate "Open vSwitch GRE tunneling support"
35 depends on OPENVSWITCH
36 depends on NET_IPGRE_DEMUX
39 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create GRE
42 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
46 config OPENVSWITCH_VXLAN
47 tristate "Open vSwitch VXLAN tunneling support"
48 depends on OPENVSWITCH
52 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create vxlan vport.
54 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
58 config OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE
59 tristate "Open vSwitch Geneve tunneling support"
60 depends on OPENVSWITCH
64 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create geneve vport.
66 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
