Yes, a primary purpose of Open vSwitch is to connect machines in virtual environments. But it does not make much sense to run Open vSwitch in a VM (other than a "Dom0" or other supervisory VM), except for testing purposes, because then you are just adding another layer to an existing virtual switch. It is as if you connected two physical computers to one another by chaining three switches together with cables, instead of just using a single switch. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_openvswitch.org
