Hello Yilun, I think that you can use OVS pretty much as you could use on any other Linux distro.
We don't have any specific tutorials for OVS on OpenWRT. There are a few blogs that reference something like that: http://voices.canonical.com/zhengpeng.hou/11/ http://vishalshahane.blogspot.ro/2014/04/configuring-tp-link-wr1043nd-v21-as.html What is important regarding OVS on OpenWRT is to read about the /etc/config/network format. That's on the OpenWRT here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/network Looks like you need to configure OVS to setup bridges/flows via ovs-vsctl + ovs-ofctl commands and then in /etc/config/network you need to setup your IP addresses and other stuff. FYI: OVS is officially supported in the latest OpenWRT trunk. It's here in the package feeds: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/master/net/openvswitch Thanks On Mon, Nov 17, 2014 at 2:14 AM, Yilun Zhou <yilun.z...@duke.edu> wrote: > > Hi, > I am experimenting with OpenVSwitch on OpenWRT.
