[ovirt-users] To oVirt or not to oVirt

[Dan Yasny]

If you really intend to use that, you will need to install neutron with
whatever plugins you need and use it as an external provider for the VMs.
If this is just a matter of "I can haz this cool tech", but really, regular
bridging with VLAN support, custom MTUs and a bunch of other features
(especially a very easy graphical setup) are enough, I'd stick with oVirt
native networking - it's pretty powerful in it's own right.
