Hi, Guilherme. I have not personally run OVS with VirtualBox, but we've had
reports that it works with Linux as the host. Doing a quick pass through their
documentation, it appears that you should be able to make it work simply by
running OVS with bridge compatibility. This is documented in INSTALL.bridge in
the distribution. You can also browse the documentation here:
http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob_plain;f=INSTALL.bridge
If you run into any problems, feel free to send questions to this list. If you
get it working, we'd love to hear about that, too!
