Ten Years of Open vSwitch Success and Failure - a podcast by Ben Pfaff

This is a talk that I gave at an internal VMware event called"Open
Source Day" in February. I prepared it as a kind of internal recognition
of the ACM SOSR conferenceawarding Open
vSwitch its Software Systems Award. It goes over a history of Open
vSwitch and the motivation behind it, factors that led to its success,and some of the project's failures and mixed results.
