Hi all, 

Complete newbie question for which I can't seem to find an
answer anywhere in the docs or website. (Yes, I have searched but, being
new, perhaps not searching for the right thing!) 

Why does each bridge
need to have a port and interface with the same name marked as type
"internal"? 

If I attempt to delete them, for example, it says that the
port does not exist. How else are they used? 

e.g. 

$ovs-vsctl
show
e1bbbcb1-e20d-48e5-ae89-823c1a485625
 Bridge br-tun
 Port br-tun

Interface br-tun
 type: internal
 Port patch-int
 Interface patch-int

type: patch
 options: {peer=patch-tun}
 Bridge br-int
 Port br-int

Interface br-int
 type: internal
 Port "int-br-eth1"
 Interface
"int-br-eth1"
 Port patch-tun
 Interface patch-tun
 type: patch

options: {peer=patch-int}
 Bridge "br-eth0"
 Port "phy-br-eth0"

Interface "phy-br-eth0"
 Port "eth0"
 Interface "eth0"
 Port "br-eth0"

Interface "br-eth0"
 type: internal
 Bridge "br-eth1"
 Port "br-eth1"

Interface "br-eth1"
 type: internal
 Port "eth1"
 Interface "eth1"

ovs_version: "1.4.0+build0"

$ovs-vsctl del-port br-eth1
ovs-vsctl: no
port named br-eth1

Cheers, 
Tudor.
