**Scenario**:
We are trying to develop our Virtual Network using `Open Virtual Network` or `OVN`, We need our Virtual Network Switches running firstly on the root Virtual Router, and there are some other Virtual Switches as well. I was Working on the `openvswitch` and `OVN` but a lot of things are missing for me, and there are some unlinked dots between the deployment itself and there are some problems. My Question has 3 further Parts.

 1. Is it possible at all to use `Neutron` as our Network Manager without OpenStack cloud installation?
 2. Is it a good approach?
 3. if not then are there any cookbooks available for `OVN`, I am not talking about man-pages.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

P.S. I am thinking about this because OVN got merged with Neutron, and it could be one of the possibilities.

**Note**: Please Don't downvote the question because I don't have that much experience with the network could be a stupid question, will remove it if you provide me the info in the comment section.


I have found out that installation is possible I am quoting the answer from `https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron` by `https://launchpad.net/~amotoki` below.

"The way to install neutron is simple: to install neutron with pip (from PyPI package or the git repo), prepare a config file for neutron and start the neutron server (in case of OVN mechanism driver). Distro packages and/or various tools like Ansible playbook are just a wrapper for this. The minimum required config to enable noauth (ie without keystone) is to set auth_strategy to noauth in the config file.

I don't know the detail instruction step by step to satisfy your need."


Now I want to find out detailed instructions for this purpose. is this possible to get the instructions here
