Open Stack

Does that depend on DVR to function?

As I understand it, OpenStack Kilo uses DVR by default when you use KVM for
your compute.
But with vCenter for compute, I have a hunch that I may need NSX to make
this work. (Because there's not distributed virtual router for the ovsvapp
nodes.)

But, again, I could be wrong on this.
