thanks for the answer, but I think you misunderstood what I mean，i really want
to know how to connect two remote OVS together by a wire so that VMS at
different HOST can belong the same VLAN without the trunk configuration in
physical switch. I know that the VDE can do that, but the configuration is
difficult. so i want to know whether the OVS can perform the same function.
Thanks for the useful link by Justin.

Hi,
If you want to use VDE, it is independent of OVS. You can bind the
VDE switch to a vtap and then use wirefilter to do so via SSH. This
is probably best understood if you search the VDE documentation.
