I was looking over the admin guide 
http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/networking_config-agents.html#configure-l3-agent
 and noticed this:

"If you reboot a node that runs the L3 agent, you must run the 
neutron-ovs-cleanup command before the neutron-l3-agent service starts".

Taking a look at neutron-ovs-cleanup, it appears to remove stray veth pairs and 
tap port in OVS.  The admin guide suggests ensuring neutron-ovs-cleanup runs 
before L3 agent and DHCP agent start when rebooting a node.  My question is 
whether there is something special about a reboot vs. an agent restart that is 
the genesis of this note in the admin guide.  What conditions can get you into 
a state where neutron-ovs-cleanup is required?  Is it just a matter of the OVS 
agent getting out of sync and needing to go back to a clean slate? Can anyone 
shed some light on this note?
