[Bug 1943355] [NEW] Can We Use Openstack Neutron as standalone component?

 

Public bug reported:

**Scenario**:
We are trying to develop our Virtual Network using `Open Virtual Network` or `OVN`, We need our Virtual Network Switches running firstly on the root Virtual Router, and there are some other Virtual Switches as well. I was Working on the `openvswitch` and `OVN` but a lot of things are missing for me, and there are some unlinked dots between the deployment itself and there are some problems. My Question has 3 further Parts. 

 1. Is it possible at all to use `Neutron` as our Network Manager without OpenStack cloud installation?
 2. Is it a good approach?
 3. if not then are there any cookbooks available for `OVN`, I am not talking about man-pages.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

P.S. I am thinking about this because OVN got merged with Neutron, and
it could be one of the possibilities.

**Note**: Please Don't downvote the question because I don't have that
much experience with the network could be a stupid question, will remove
it if you provide me the info in the comment section.
