The end of 2016 is nearly upon us, and it looks as if there will be only one more Technology Short Take before the end of the year. This is an interesting project to watch, I think—it’s porting OVN (Open Virtual Network) from a “traditional” OvS back-end to an IOVisor-based back-end (IOVisor implements the data plane in eBPF).
