# # Open vSwitch # config OPENVSWITCH tristate "Open vSwitch" select LIBCRC32C ---help--- Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and translate it into packet processing rules. See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace utilities. To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be called openvswitch. If unsure, say N. config OPENVSWITCH_GRE bool "Open vSwitch GRE tunneling support" depends on INET depends on OPENVSWITCH depends on NET_IPGRE_DEMUX && !(OPENVSWITCH=y && NET_IPGRE_DEMUX=m) default y ---help--- If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create GRE vport. Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size. If unsure, say Y. config OPENVSWITCH_VXLAN bool "Open vSwitch VXLAN tunneling support" depends on INET depends on OPENVSWITCH depends on VXLAN && !(OPENVSWITCH=y && VXLAN=m) default y ---help--- If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create vxlan vport. Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size. If unsure, say Y. config OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE bool "Open vSwitch Geneve tunneling support" depends on INET depends on OPENVSWITCH depends on GENEVE && !(OPENVSWITCH=y && GENEVE=m) default y ---help--- If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create geneve vport. Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
