Description-en: Open vSwitch public key infrastructure dependency package
Open vSwitch is a production quality, multilayer, software-based,
Ethernet virtual switch. It is designed to enable massive network
automation through programmatic extension, while still supporting
standard management interfaces and protocols (e.g. NetFlow, IPFIX,
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.
.
openvswitch-pki provides PKI (public key infrastructure) support for
Open vSwitch switches and controllers, reducing the risk of
man-in-the-middle attacks on the Open vSwitch network infrastructure.
