Hi, There is couple of features not available for linuxbridge agent and available only for ovs. For example: firewall based on openflows or DVR. I think that things related to DPDK are also available for open vswitch. I have feeling that there is also more developers who cares about open vswitch agent than for linuxbridge but I might be wrong with that of course :) So personally today I would choose open vswitch probably :) > Wiadomość napisana przez s serge <abricus at yandex.ru> w dniu 08.04.2018, o godz. 20:49: > > Hello, > > Could you please advice a technical decision how to made a choice between linuxbridge and Open vSwitch for > an OpenStack deployment ? > > While Open vSwitch is more flexible and provides more features, it also involves additional level of complexity. > > However, are there OpenStack features which can only be utilised using Open vSwitch functionality or is it implemented > in OpenStack just as an option to choose? > > According to https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/linuxonibm/liaag/wkvm/wkvm_c_net_conbridge.htm, > there is no significant difference in the terms of performance, but Open vSwitch implies more additional attendance to > understand and debug network level. > > I would appreciate a feedback based on real operation and maintenance experience. > > Thanks, > Regards, > Serge. > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack > Post to : openstack at lists.openstack.org > Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack — Best regards Slawek Kaplonski slawek at kaplonski.pl -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
