Thanks Ganesh!

I did not know about this tool.
I also quite like the network visualization bits, though I wonder how practical 
that would be when one debugs very large deployments.

I think it won't be a bad idea to list these tools in the networking guide or 
in neutron's devref, or both.

It sounds like indeed that easyOVS covers what you're aiming too.
However, from what I gather there is still plenty to do in easy OVS, so perhaps 
rather than starting a new toolset from scratch you might build on the existing 
one.

Personally I'd welcome its adoption into the Neutron stadium as debugging 
control plane/data plane issues in the neutron reference impl is becoming 
difficult also for expert users and developers.
I'd just suggest renaming it because calling it "OVS" is just plain wrong. The 
neutron reference implementation and OVS are two distinct things.

As concern neutron-debug, this is a tool that was developed in the early stages 
of the project to verify connectivity using "probes" in namespaces. These 
probes are simply tap interfaces associated with neutron ports. The 
neutron-debug tool is still used in some devstack exercises. Nevertheless, I'd 
rather keep building something like easyOVS and then deprecated neutron-debug 
rather than develop it.

AFAIK, there is a project available in the github that does the same thing.

I used it before.
