This patch introduces changes to the L2 agent, whereby the L2 agent relies on a DVR component that takes care of the port wiring and the management of tunnels in face of topology changes due to the life cycles or VM's as well as the life cycles of distributed virtual routers. Support for DVR needs to be explicitly enabled. Default behavior remains unchanged. Partially-implements: blueprint neutron-ovs-dvr Change-Id: If75225898a6f0aeea8b0300b711ca7e01f6b4f9a
The Open vSwitch (OVS) Neutron plugin is a simple plugin to manage OVS features using a local agent running on each hypervisor. For details on how to configure and use the plugin, see: http://openvswitch.org/openstack/documentation/
