In my experience, linuxbridge works very well and is a lot simpler to set up and configure in an environment where other software/hardware is handling the general network configuration (especially if you have experience with using network bridges on Linux KVM deployments). I would go with linuxbridge (especially in a straightfoward setup) unless the additional features of openvswitch are needed. > > Thanks, > Regards, > Serge. > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ope > nstack > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ope > nstack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
