Well, I think my confusion comes from the fact that with Linux you can have a
bond interface, whereas in OVS it always just a port.
Exactly, everything has to be plugged into a bridge :-).
A bond is a special kind of port and can be a bit confusing. You might want to
take a look at the following docs:
- https://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/faq/openflow/#using-openflow
Specially the question: "Q: It looks like each of the interfaces in my bonded
port shows up as an individual OpenFlow port. Is that right?"

Hi,
I searched the Internet for the answer, but so far I haven't found it.
Can anybody tell me why when creating an OVS bond interface I have to link
it to a bridge, that must of course exist?
This is not required through the Linux way where a bond is created
straight-away as a port.
Even more weird, in the help of ovs-vsctl I read
*Port commands (a bond is considered to be a single port):*
So for OVS a bond is a port. For me that's the difficult part to understand.
Since I'm thinking of moving from Linux to OVS due to the SDN management in
ProxMox, I would like to get it right.
TIA,
Alex
