rvs | A virtual switch , aiming to be

rvs is a C library. rvs has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

rvs is a rapid virtual switch that aims to be platform-independent so that it can be integrated into a wide range of systems. rvs forwards packets from a virtual interface, called rvif, to other rvif(s); each rvif is instantiated over a shared memory file, and can be associated with a process/system through the file interface. The forwarding plane of rvs is inspired by VALE/mSwitch that is a netmap-based virtual switch. The primary motivation of rvs is to have the simplest implementation of a high-performance virtual switch, which does not depend on external libraries; netmap is highly flexible and sophisticated, however, it is sometimes too much for small tests and requires a bit of engineering to port specific components (e.g., the packet switching logic of VALE) to other environments (e.g., running the VALE switch in user-space, rather than in the kernel). A DPDK poll mode driver (pmd) for rvif is found at
