Open vSwitch (OVS) is a multilayer open source virtual switch. OVS is designed to enable massive network automation through programmatic extension, while still supporting standard management interfaces. OVN is a new network virtualization project that brings virtual networking to the Open vSwitch user community. OVN includes logical switches and routers, security groups, and L2/L3/L4 ACLs, implemented on top of a tunnel-based overlay network. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of the current state of the projects and their future plans, such as:
The current state of the Linux, DPDK, and Hyper-V ports A status update on a portable BPF-based datapath The latest stateful and OpenFlow features available in OVS Performance and debugging enhancement to OVN OVN features under development such as ACL logging and encrypted tunnels
