Which kernel module on KVM implements a N-VDS?
An N-VDS on a KVM hypervisor is implemented using the 'openvswitch' kernel module. Open vSwitch (OVS) is a production-quality, multilayer virtual switch licensed under the open source Apache 2.0 license. It is designed to enable massive network automation through programmatic extensions, while still supporting standard management interfaces and protocols. As such, it is commonly employed in KVM environments to handle network traffic.
A is correct. From ICM manual: An N-VDS is similar in function to a KVM Open vSwitch on a KVM host.
A is indeed correct
A is the answer: Open vSwitch (OVS) Open source software switch that acts as a virtual switch within XenServer, Xen, KVM, and other Linux-based hypervisors.
A is the correct one
A is correct. Some various links: http://virtualbrigade.com/n-vds/ https://ipwithease.com/vds-vs-n-vds-vmware-virtual-switches/ "On a KVM hypervisor N-VDS is implemented via an open vSwitch (OVS) module for Linux kernel. The purpose of N-VDS is to forward traffic which runs on transport nodes."
A. openvswitch
