v20 v21 8 8 9 9 In this tutorial we are going to use [http://openvswitch.org/ Open vSwitch (OVS)] as an !OpenFlow switch connected to three hosts. 10 OVS is a software switch running on a compute resource. The other three hosts can only communicate through the OVS switch. Although the controller for the switch can run anywhere in the internet, we are going to run it on the same host as the OVS switch to minimize the required resources.10 OVS is a software switch running on a compute resource.
