Migration from linuxbridge to ovs

Hi Lukasz:

This is happening because you are using the "iptables_hybrid" firewall
driver in the OVS agent. That creates a namespace where a set of iptables
is defined (firewall rules) and a linux bridge, that is connected to OVS
using a veth pair [1]. If you need the native plug implementation, then use
the native firewall (or don't use any). That will create a TAP port
directly connected to the integration bridge.

Regards.
