+            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, SPAN, 
+            RSPAN, 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.
