The patch of https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/759367/ which 
introduced the config option ``explicitly_egress_direct=True/False`` had fixed 
the following problems:
1. the egress flooding issue on br-int when enable openvswitch(openflow) 
security group driver
https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1732067

2. fix the east-west traffic broken of dvr 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1831534 (this bug is for VLAN network, 
but the issue is not vlan only).

3. fix some potential ingress flood issue on br-int

And I had put some issues here as well:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1934666/comments/5

So, not use explicitly_egress_direct=True, you have to face these
issues.

Another thing is that as I said in the release note before, do not use 
``explicitly_egress_direct=True`` in host which enable dvr_snat and compute 
service. There are too many cases need to cover, please try to combine the 
following cases for DVR:
1. vlan/vxlan
2. dvr/dvr+ha
3. agent mode(dvr, dvr_snat, dvr_no_external)
4. east-west traffic and north-south traffic with the Scenario of src and dest 
in or not in same host
5. IPv6
6. allowed_address_pair
7. enable/disabl openflow firewall
8. HA router failover
The final cases is too many to cover.

And FYI, we had mark that dvr_snat + compute services is not supported.
