Thanks SalvatoreI am thinking these:1) openvswitch has more features than quantum, so i want to support it in pandora first, then later to support quantum2) openvswitch seems doesn't provide API, still don't know how to control it programatically. May be i send command in command-pipeline then parse the output. But this is not a good practice.3) i want to do live-migration with auto network transfer in pandora. So i need to control a vswitch.

Thanksfrom Peter

Yes, it is a very common use case.Nowadays, everybody who deploys Xen, KVM, or LXC without a Cloud Management System is actually using Open vSwitch.In that case you can program Open vSwitch using its own interface to provide virtual networks.

When deploying Openstack, you can use Open vSwitch without Quantum by deploying nova-network instead.As far as I know every nova-network manager works with Open vSwitch too.
