Hi Daniel,

We did a lot of work in VDSM to make it more pluggable. part of it was
to extract the LB specific implementation to a configurator which
enables adding support to OVS. Take a look at -

http://www.ovirt.org/Feature/NetworkReloaded#Network_configurators

We did not implement the OVS configurator, but it's an option we should
look into.

It would help if you can specify concrete work that you are doing with
OVS, is it just a general, traditional work or are you using the flows
in OVS, other?
