Hi all, 

I'm installing a new compute node from scratch and reviewing all old 
config. I've found two setting that seems equal, one in ml2 plugin and 
one in openvswitch.

But I don't really understand why they are.

ovs_neutron_plugin.ini:
	bridge_mappings = default:br0,extnet1:br-ex


ml2/ml2_conf.ini:
[ovs]
bridge_mappings = default:br0,extnet1:br-ex


For me it's strange the settings are in both places. I think this is a 
result of upgrading without taking much care of removing old config.


 But also it's strange that everything works with the bridges br0 and 
br-ex without physical interface. I mean, seems to do nothing but it 
needs to be there.  
Also I should expect VM be attached to br0 (Default) but it's not, they 
are attached to the br-int (integration bridge), for me this is 
correct. Since it's described here like this:

https://openstack.redhat.com/Networking_in_too_much_detail

And works ok. 

So what's the purporse of these bridges?

Here is:

neutron 2.3.4
nova      2.17.0

Best regards,
