[openstack-dev] Merge multiple OVS bridges ?

Hi
Currently in Neutron the integration bridge (br-int) and other bridges
configured over each physical nic (e.g. br-eth0, br-eth1 etc) are being
configured in Compute and Network nodes. What is the logic behind or
advantages having 2 OVS bridges in the physical host?

Can we have only one bridge for each physical NIC, similar to what linux
bridge setup has. And configure/modify the flows such that VLAN conversion
is appropriately setup for ingress and egress traffic within the single
bridge.
Thus also eliminating the veth pairs used to connect the bridges together.
Is this a feasible proposal, and can it be worked on?
