| Abstract | OpenvSwitch (OVS) is a very popular component for experimenting with Software Defined Networking. OVS is especially useful for interconnecting virtual machines, as it eases VM migration and reconfiguration of routing in the hosting provider.
In this paper we will discuss how we ported the in-kernel OVS dataplane to FreeBSD, using the original linux code with minimal modifications and suitable wrappers to build a FreeBSD kernel module, parse netlink messages and convert skbufs and mbufs. |
