This post highlights what is the difference between OVS and EVS.
OVS is a virtual switch implemented using open source software, supports multiple standard interfaces and protocols, supports distributed environments of multiple physical servers, provides support for openflow protocols, and integrates with many open source virtualization platforms.
EVS is Huawei's technology based on OVS. It improves the IO performance through intel DPDK technology. It still follows the openflow protocol. It takes over NIC data through user-mode processes. Each core is assigned a core dedicated to data transmission and reception. This kind of polling mode is more efficient than interrupted processing, so IO performance is significantly improved.
