Software defined Networking has brought revolution to the world of Network technology which replaces most of the physical devices and control layer of the cloud computing reference model takes control of many Networking Devices. The purpose is to explain the role of vSwitch in building virtual network infrastructure. A Virtual Switch is software by the virtue of which communication between several virtual machines take place. In contrast to physical switch, it does not only forwards data packets but also checks the data for security before it is forwarded to other virtual machines. Interrelated components of software components work together to form a virtual network infrastructure. Out of the software components, the emphasis is targeted on Virtual switch functions and how it differs from the traditional switches.
