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

40 config OPENVSWITCH_GRE
41 tristate "Open vSwitch GRE tunneling support"
42 depends on OPENVSWITCH
46 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create GRE
49 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
53 config OPENVSWITCH_VXLAN
54 tristate "Open vSwitch VXLAN tunneling support"
55 depends on OPENVSWITCH
59 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create vxlan vport.
61 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
65 config OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE
66 tristate "Open vSwitch Geneve tunneling support"
67 depends on OPENVSWITCH
71 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create geneve vport.
73 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
