Title:
Open vSwitch explained

Abstract:
Open vSwitch is a software that supports network connectivity to your instances. You simply install it, define few bridges and it works. But how does it provide such functionalities? Can we configure it to be faster?

During this presentation I will answer those questions. I will show how Open vSwitch performs in two different modes. The first one is using kernel and the second one is using DPDK for packets processing. We will talk about advantages and drawback for each of the modes. Moreover, I will present how to configure Neutron to utilize DPDK support in Open vSwitch.
