+.. Open vSwitch for NFV Documentation master file.

+====================
+Open vSwitch for NFV
+====================
+Welcome to OVSNFV's documentation !
+
+.. _OVSNFV: https://wiki.opnfv.org/open_vswitch_for_nfv
+.. _REPO: https://opnfv.org/gerrit/ovsnfv
+
+OVSNFV_ is an OPNFV collaborative development project.
+
+The OVSNFV project proposes:
+
+* To modify the OPNFV build to include a deployment option for the
+ software-accelerated userspace Open vSwitch build. This change will
+ significantly improve the performance of the NFVI for network I/O.
+* Future work to encompass collaborative development within the Open
+ vSwitch project to improve the performance of the software-accelerated
+ userspace Open vSwitch and increasing its suitability for Telco NFV
+ deployments.

+============
+Open vSwitch
+============
+
+Open vSwtich (OVS) is a software switch commonly used in OpenStack deployments
+to replace Linux bridges as it offers advantages in terms of mobility, hardware
+integration and use by network controllers.
+
+================
+OPNFV Installers
+================
+
+Currently not all installers are supported.
+
+Fuel Installer
+--------------
+
+OVSNFV project supplies a Fuel Plugin to upgrades Open vSwitch on an OPNFV
+installation to use user-space datapath.
+
+As part of the upgrade the following changes are also made:
+
+* change libvirt on compute node to 1.2.12
+* change qemu on compute node to 2.2.1
+* installs DPDK 2.0.0
+* installs OVS 2.1 (specifically git tag 1e77bbe)
+* removes existing OVS neutron plugin
+* installs new OVS plugin as part of networking_ovs_dpdk OpenStack plugin
+ version stable/kilo
+* work around _set_device_mtu issue
+
+Limitations
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This release should be considered experimental. In particular:
+
+* performance will be addressed specifically in subsequent releases.
+* OVS and other components are updated only on compute nodes.
+
+Bugs
+~~~~
+
+* There may be issues assigning floating and public ip address to VMs.
