Hi Melanie, I would without a doubt choose Linux bridge unless you want to use some very special things that OVS provides - but assuming you'll be using VLANs (or VXLANs) and considering the simplicity, stability, performance - I would go with that. Since XenServer is using it as the default, it h

Hi Melanie, actually no need to have a separate "Physical Network", unless i.e. you decide to use VXLAN or some SDN technology for network/tenant isolation for Guest traffic. Reason for that is since isolation method (vlan/vxlan/etc.) is set per Physical network and affects all Traffic types in

Hi Melanie, a) I assume you are planning on staying on single "Physical network" in ACS? b) are you planning on reconfiguring your XenServer hosts at all (in sense of networking) or just thinking adding KVM hosts and defining proper KMV Traffic Label for each traffic type you have? Makes sense to
