Sorry - I thought it had already been discussed on this list :-). Yes, it
replaces the Linux bridging functionality - in fact, it has a compatibility
layer that allows you to continue to use brctl and allows Linux network scripts
to function. It's still early in its development - it's stable, but has a long
list of features that still need to be added. Web site is
http://open-vswitch.org. It should work on just about any Linux distribution,
although you may have to fidget with the kernel modules piece to get it work.
