Hello,

I want to write my own VNF. For this I need to :

1. Create a network namespace.

2. Create a ovs internal port on a bridge with an appropriate tag.

3. Send the port to the network namespace. 

4. Run a service in the network namespace that could (for example) read packets.

Are there "openstack networking" commands to do steps 1-3 above or should this be done manually? 

( What I want to do, essentially is to create a tap port and read packets from this tap port. Incidentally, the TAPaaS project was doing something like this but it seems to be unsupported.)

Thanks,

Ranga
