[Bug 1285335] [NEW] Openvswitch agent should use ovs patch ports instead veths

 

Public bug reported:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1045613 is no more valid because
"patch port support has been added to the upstream Linux kernel OVS
implementation" (comment #4). That's why we can use openvswitch patch
ports to interconnect br-int to physnets in order to use the same
interconnection technology with br-tun and physnets and increase
performance (according to http://www.opencloudblog.com/?p=96).
