Public bug reported:
Nova currently injects in network_data.json the internal device name in
the link id field and the device "type" in the link type field. This is
wrong and could mislead users about how they should use and interpret
those values.
The nova-specs for network_data.json [1] specifies that:
* the link id should be a "Generic, generated ID".
* the link type should be "vif" if it's a virtual interface and "phy" for physical interface.
The values currently used come from internal implementation details and
shouldn't be passed on to the end-user. The implementation should be
updated to respect the spirit of the spec. This will reduce confusion to
initialization agent developers.
