Hi Benoit,
If the question is: "can we write a network plugin so that networks are
defined in open vSwitch instead of in traditional linux bonds, vlans and
bridges"; the answer is yes. The language to do that is Python and the
correct oVirt component to do it in is vdsm. Now we have an ifcfg configurator
and a partial iproute2 configurator. The task would be to make an open vSwitch
one.
Best regards,
Toni
