By handling it, I mean: * at least being able to use it as a full replacement for the native linux bridge at first. * ideally, provide "a little" more supporting bonding, VLANs... This would allow more people to adopt Openvswitch for "basic" usage and get familiar with, widespreading OVS a little more. From my PoV, this could lead an important boost in OVS adoption and a must have for libvirt 1.0. * Maybe, if needed, influence new libvirt's network model so that it would be able, in the future, to manage relevant OVS specifics and advanced features like it should do for other network virtualization technologies My 2cts
