Subject: [openstack-dev] Merge multiple OVS bridges ?


Hi
Currently in Neutron the integration bridge (br-int) and other bridges configured over each physical nic (e.g. br-eth0, br-eth1 etc) are being configured in Compute and Network nodes. What is the logic behind or advantages having 2 OVS bridges in the physical host?

Can we have only one bridge for each physical NIC, similar to what linux bridge setup has. And configure/modify the flows such that VLAN conversion is appropriately setup for ingress and egress traffic within the single bridge.
Thus also eliminating the veth pairs used to connect the bridges together.
Is this a feasible proposal, and can it be worked on?
