The way how Pan-Net is improving the throughput of Compute Nodes
Pan-Net is using Openstack CMS (Cloud Management System) with OVS (Open vSwitch) as SDN (Software Defined Network) solution. OVS is configured and managed by Neutron (OS project used for networking).

ovs-switchd: the main process of OVS, used to make a decision about packet/frame forwarding, deployed in userspace. kernel module (datapath): forwarding packets/frames, deployed in the kernel. ovsdb-server: DB used to store OVS configuration, deployed in userspace.
