Can OVS create tap ports like OpenVPN or KVM (Qemu) or User Mode Linux use? I.e. an Ethernet interface inside OVS and a socket that applications can glom onto and use.

I think I can create the tap interfaces manually (via tunctl or ip tuntap…) and then add them to a bridge. However I feel like this is unnecessary and may very well be something that OVS can do without the separate devices.

Hence my question if OVS can create (internal) tap interfaces, much the same way that it can create (internal) vEth (like) interfaces.
