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

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.
