So those old core plugins were completly dropped (removed from neutron repo) in Neutron 8.0.0 (Mitaka). In 7.0.0 (Liberty) most of them were removed but not all. In Mitaka all except ML2 and Hyper-v was deleted already.

To have most accurate representation possible and if we can split it into two questions then we would like it to be be like:

1. Which OpenStack Network (Neutron) core plugin are you using?

    A10 Networks

    Arista

    Big Switch

    Brocade / Broadcom

    Calico

    Cisco UCS / Nexus

    Embrane

    Extreme Networks

    Hyper-V

    IBM SDN-VE

    Linux Bridge

    Mellanox

    Meta Plugin

    MidoNet

    Modular Layer 2 Plugin (ML2)

    NEC OpenFlow

    nova-network

    OpenDaylight

    Nuage Networks

    One Convergence NVSD

    OpenContrail or Juniper

    Open vSwitch

    PLUMgrid

    Ruijie Networks

    VMWare NSX (formerly Nicira NVP)

2. If You choose Modular Layer 2 Plugin (ML2) in the previous question, what mechanism driver(s) are You using?

    Alcatel-Lucent Omniswitch

    Arista

    Big Switch

    Brocade VDX/VCS

    Calico

    Cisco APIC

    Cisco DFA

    Cloudbase Hyper-V

    Freescale SDN

    Frescale FWaaS

    Fujitsu Converged Fabric Switch

    Huawei Agile Controller

    Linux Bridge

    Mellanox

    Mellanox SR-IOV

    MidoNet

    Nuage Networks

    ONOS

    One Convergence

    OpenDaylight

    OpenFlow Agent

    Open vSwitch

    OVN

    SR-IOV

    Pluribus

    Tail-F

    VMWare DVS

    Other Mechanism Driver

Please let me know if that would be fine for You too. Thx in advance
