[Users] openvswitch intergration status

[Jiri Belka]

Hi,

is there a plan to integrate openvswitch, if so what's status?

Basic bridging sucks, and now everything is virtual, no? :)

Maybe some benefits:

* decreases cost for special (legacy) enterprise switches
* virtualization buzzword included
* one can simulate switch in ovirt
  (that was my start to investigate, i wanted to have a trunk port
  pointing to virtualized FW and couple of vlans with guests, not
  possible right now in ovirt, each vlan = one iface)
* there's backward compatibility
  - see http://packages.debian.org/sid/openvswitch-brcompat

Let's be hype :D
