Hi all,


We are proposing a change to move bridge name generator (creating bridge name from net-id or reading integration bridge name from nova.conf) from Nova to Neutron. The followings are BPs in Nova and Neutron.

    https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/neutron-vif-bridge-details
    https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/vif-plugging-metadata

I'd like to get your comments on this change whether this is relevant direction. I found related comment in Nova code [3] and guess these discussion had in context of vif-plugging and port-binding, but I'm not sure there was consensus about bridge name.

Thanks,
Ryota
