Open Stack

Hi,

In the "notes" section on the following page it alludes to the fact that
OpenStack handles the creation of the necessary bridge devices:

http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/networking-options.html

I do not like the verbiage of the first sentence.  I would suggest the
following.  Replace this:

#####
All of the networking options require network connectivity to be already
set up between OpenStack physical nodes. OpenStack will not create or
configure any network interfaces (except bridges and VM virtual interfaces).
######

with this:

######
All of the networking options require network connectivity to be already
set up between OpenStack physical nodes. OpenStack will not configure
any physical network interfaces.

OpenStack will automatically create all network bridges (i.e., br100)
and VM virtual interfaces.
######


Then, further down in the same page in the "Flat mode", I see this:

"A network administrator must configure the Linux networking bridge
(typically named br100, although this configurable) both on the network
controller hosting the network and on the cloud controllers hosting the
instances."

I have not used flat mode, but this statement is opposite of what is
stated above in the "notes" section.

Of course, I could be reading all of this wrong, in which case the whole
page needs to be re-written.

Thanks!
Dan
