Hi,
thanks for your comments.
see answers below.
Thanks,

In some use cases the trunk network will trunk all VLANS from a VM, so they
can for example be 'tunneled' to another VM or externally. In the use case
where a VM wants to connect to multiple Neutron networks, the trunk network
is a logical connection between the VM trunk port and the L2-gateways. From
my point of view it looks a little strange for this use case, but I think
this is what we said during our meeting in Hong Kong (Unless I
misunderstood something...).
I added use case where two VMs are connected through a trunk network. This
can not be optimized away. The network would have to be able to trunk all
VLANs between the VMs.

I will try to align to this and maybe other proposals as much as possible.
Just wanted to have some feedback before I do too many assumptions.

Unless something has changed, all vNICs handled by OVS-agent are connected
to br-int. br-int has a local VID for separating traffic. br-int is
connected to one or more other bridges representing one or more physical
networks. The br-int VID is mapped to a per bridge VID, so two separate
Neutron networks could have the same VID on two different physical networks.
