3 ==== Overview and Architecture
5 There are currently two OVSDB Southbound plugins:
7 * odl-ovsdb-southbound: Implements the OVSDB Open_vSwitch database schema.
9 * odl-ovsdb-hwvtepsouthbound: Implements the OVSDB hardware_vtep database schema.
11 These plugins are normally installed and used automatically by higher level applications such as
12 odl-ovsdb-openstack; however, they can also be installed separately and used via their REST APIs
13 as is described in the following sections.
