OVN is intended to add network virtualization functionality to OVS. With 
network virtualization via OVN, you can build logical network topologies that 
are independent of the underlying physical network topology. Thus, you could 
create a logical switch (a logical L2 domain) that spans multiple L3 segments 
in the physical network (as an example). Distributed virtual switches such as 
the vSphere Distributed Switch or the Cisco Nexus 1000V do not have this 
functionality.
