LOL... One day, Internet via "Quantum Entanglement"! Oops, Neutron!     =P

I'll ignore the problems related to the "performance between two instances
on different hypervisors" for now. My priority is the connectivity issue
with the External networks... At least, internal is slow but it works.

I'm about to remove the L3 Agent / Namespaces entirely from my topology...
It is a shame because it is pretty cool! With Grizzly I had no problems at
all. Plus, I need to put Havana into production ASAP!    :-/

Why I'm giving it up (of L3 / NS) for now? Because I tried:

The option "tenant_network_type" with gre, vxlan and vlan (range
physnet1:206:256 configured at the 3Com switch as tagged).

>From the instances, the connection with External network *is always slow*,
no matter if I choose for Tenants, GRE, VXLAN or VLAN.

For example, right now, I'm using VLAN, same problem.

Don't you guys think that this can be a problem with the bridge "br-ex" and
its internals ? Since I swapped the "Tenant Network Type" 3 times, same
result... But I still did not removed the br-ex from the scene.

If someone wants to debug it, I can give the root password, no problem, it
is just a lab...   =)

Thanks!
