----- Original Message ----- > In a gateway like the VTEP L2 gateway, physical vlans belonging to > the same logical network form a "logical switch". Each logical switch > has a dedicated tunnel key and will keep records of all MACs learned > from the owned vlans. So user can just send packet to a "logical > switch" and the gateway will figure out the output port and vlan tag > automatically. > > Therefore, it is really not necessary to keep record of the vlan map > for each gateway physical port in the OVN_Southbound database using > "gateway_ports" and to map each vlan to a unique ovn logical port. > Instead, we should simply map each logical switch to a ovn logical > port. > > Thusly, this commit removes the "Gateway" table from the OVN_Southbound > database. In the "Chassis" table, the "gateway_ports" column is replaced > by "vtep_logical_switches" column which stores all vtep logical switch > names. The use of this column will be documented in later commit. > > Signed-off-by: Alex Wang <al...@nicira.com>
