+The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin is an open-source, fully-featured Kubernetes CNI plugin that uses Open Virtual Network (OVN) to manage network traffic flows. OVN is a community developed, vendor-agnostic network virtualization solution. The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin uses the following technologies:
 
-// OVN (Open Virtual Network) is consistent with upstream usage.
+* OVN to manage network traffic flows.
+* Kubernetes network policy support and logs, including ingress and egress rules.
+* The Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve) protocol, rather than Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), to create an overlay network between nodes.
 
-* Uses OVN (Open Virtual Network) to manage network traffic flows. OVN is a community developed, vendor-agnostic network virtualization solution.
-* Implements Kubernetes network policy support, including ingress and egress rules.
-* Uses the Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) protocol rather than VXLAN to create an overlay network between nodes.
+The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin supports the following capabilities:
 
-The OVN-Kubernetes network plugin provides the following advantages over OpenShift SDN.
-
-* Full support for IPv6 single-stack and IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack networking on supported platforms
-* Support for hybrid clusters with both Linux and Microsoft Windows workloads
-* Optional IPsec encryption of intra-cluster communications
-* Offload of network data processing from host CPU to compatible network cards and data processing units (DPUs)
+* Hybrid clusters that can run both Linux and Microsoft Windows workloads. This environment is known as _hybrid networking_.
+* Offloading of network data processing from the host central processing unit (CPU) to compatible network cards and data processing units (DPUs). This is known as _hardware offloading_.
+* IPv4-primary dual-stack networking on bare-metal, {vmw-full}, {ibm-power-name}, {ibm-z-name}, and {rh-openstack} platforms.
+* IPv6 single-stack networking on a bare-metal platform.
+* IPv6-primary dual-stack networking for a cluster running on a bare-metal, a {vmw-full}, or an {rh-openstack} platform.
+* Egress firewall devices and egress IP addresses.
+* Egress router devices that operate in redirect mode.
+* IPsec encryption of intracluster communications.
