Hi- I'm excited to announce a new project: Indigo Virtual Switch (IVS). IVS is a lightweight, high-performance vSwitch built from the ground up to support the OpenFlow protocol. It has been tested with the Floodlight controller and we welcome further testing on other controllers as well.
IVS is based on the "Indigo2" framework (www.github.com/floodlight/indigo). We created IVS to meet the needs of large-scale deployments, and we didn’t need the overhead of traditional networking stacks. We wanted a thin, lightweight OpenFlow speaker that just worked, and scaled up with low latency and multi-threading. IVS development is still quite early but we are releasing it now to invite collaborators and contributors to helping us improve the project.
