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

50 depends on OPENVSWITCH
54 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create vxlan vport.
56 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
60 config OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE

62 depends on OPENVSWITCH
66 If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create geneve vport.
68 Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
