Open vSwitch is well suited to function as a virtual switch in VM environments. In addition to exposing standard control and visibility interfaces to the virtual networking layer, it was designed to support distribution across multiple physical servers. Open vSwitch supports multiple Linux-based virtualization technologies including Xen/XenServer, KVM, and VirtualBox.

Open vSwitch - Multilayer Virtual Switch

Mininet emulates a complete network of hosts, links, and switches on a single machine. It creates a realistic virtual network, running real kernel, switch and application code, on a single machine (VM, cloud or native), in seconds, with a single command. 
 
Mininet creates virtual networks using process-based virtualization and network namespaces - features that are available in recent Linux kernels. In Mininet, hosts are emulated as bash processes running in a network namespace, so any code that would normally run on a Linux server (like a web server or client program) should run just fine within a Mininet "Host". The Mininet "Host" will have its own private network interface and can only see its own processes. Switches in Mininet are software-based switches like Open vSwitch or the OpenFlow reference switch. Links are virtual ethernet pairs, which live in the Linux kernel and connect our emulated switches to emulated hosts (processes).

OpenSwitch provides an abstraction of hardware devices of network switch platforms in a Linux OS environment. It uses standard open source software including an ONIE installer, and an unmodified Linux kernel based on Debian Jessie distribution. It provides an object-centric API for application development to implement custom applications using a well-defined object model, and set of programmatic APIs.
 
OPX Base software supports hardware virtualization (or simulation). Software simulation of basic hardware functionality is also provided (“white board”), and the higher layer software functionality can be developed and tested on generic PC/server hardware.

OpenSwitch - Linux-based network operating system (NOS) platform

Sheepdog is a distributed object storage system for volume and container services and manages the disks and nodes intelligently. Sheepdog features ease of use, simplicity of code and can scale out to thousands of nodes. The block level volume abstraction can be attached to QEMU virtual machines and Linux SCSI Target and supports advanced volume management features such as snapshot, cloning, and thin provisioning.
 
The object level container abstraction is designed to be Openstack Swift and Amazon S3 API compatible and can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data with a simple web services interface.
