+Vagrant
+-------
+
+Requires: Vagrant and a compatible hypervisor
+
+A Vagrantfile is provided allowing to compile and provision the source
+tree as found locally in a virtual machine using the following commands:
+
+       vagrant up
+       vagrant ssh
+
+This will bring up w Fedora 20 VM by default, alternatively the
+`Vagrantfile.in` can be modified to use a different distribution box as
+base. Also, the VM can be reprovisioned at any time to recompile and
+reinstall OVS:
+
+       vagrant provision
+
