[Openstack-operators] OpenvSwitch Latency issues

Hi Darragh,

Thanks for the input! I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with the latest 3.5.0 kernel
from stable with Grizzly.

I followed a suggestion to upgrade OVS from stable to the latest Havana
release under the Cloud Archive. This moved me from 1.4.0 -> 1.10.2. The
migration was relatively seamless, and has fixed the issue.

I'm not sure if this was a bug in 1.4.0 (which maybe the veth setting would
have fixed), however the upgrade has completely fixed my latency issues.
