Appreciate your response. As we have provider network concept, we can use a router to connect two different l2 networks, right ? So what's the difference between the two scenarios ?
Hi,I suppose your question is for networking-l2gw: https://opendev.org/x/networking-l2gw, am I right?For the basics, I think the README still has some good links like: https://networkop.co.uk/blog/2016/05/21/neutron-l2gw/or the documentation page can also be useful for understanding l2gw concepts:
- Why would anyone want to bridge two l2 networks in the first place ?
- The main reason is like in the above pages is to create one broadcast domain from the 2 nets.
- Can these two l2 networks be, two unroutable tenant networks ?
- yes with networking-l2gw it is possible.

I understand that its primary purpose is to bridge two l2 networks into one single network. We have tenant and provider networks in neutron.1. Why would anyone want to bridge two l2 networks in the first place ?2. Can these two l2 networks be, two unroutable tenant networks ?Please bear with my ignorance here. I am trying to grasp and learn these concepts. Any help in this regard is much appreciated...Thankselinux
