Terminology
===========
Q: I thought Open vSwitch was a virtual Ethernet switch, but the documentation
keeps talking about bridges. What's a bridge?
A: In networking, the terms "bridge" and "switch" are synonyms. Open
vSwitch implements an Ethernet switch, which means that it is also an
Ethernet bridge.
Q: What's a VLAN?
A: See :doc:`vlan`.
