[ovs-discuss] OVN vs Distributed vSwitches

[Shravan S K]

I didn't understand clearly. Could you please elaborate ?

What is the role of an SDN Controller(where does it come into the picture)
in an Open Virtual Network (OVN) ?

In the OVN architecture, does the CMS specify the kind of
functionality(like routing, load balancing, ACLs, QoS) that is needed from
the underlying network ?

Most SDN controllers are platforms.  OVN is an application.
