  	---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.
