A production quality, multilayer virtual switch Maintained by:emaste@FreeBSD.org Port Added: 01 Dec 2011 20:09:04 License: AL2
Open vSwitch is a production quality, multilayer virtual switch licensed
under the open source Apache 2.0 license. It is designed to enable massive
network automation through programmatic extension, while still supporting
standard management interfaces and protocols (e.g. NetFlow, sFlow, RSPAN,
ERSPAN, CLI, LACP, 802.1ag). In addition, it is designed to support
distribution across multiple physical servers similar to VMware's vNetwork
distributed vswitch or Cisco's Nexus 1000V.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
- The proper acronym for Apache Software License 2 is really AL2
- Thanks to crees@ for generating the initial patch
