>From http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/networking-guide/deploy.html I can surmise that I can either use Open vSwitch (OVS) or Linux bridge to connect my instances with the outside network.
What I feel is missing, though, is an official recommendation as to which one to pick, or at least a comparsion of the pros and cons of each, to help me make an informed choice myself. I was able to figure out from the docs that DVR and GRE are features that are only supported by OVS. Other than that, they seemed to have equivalent features. Performance weren't discussed much, though, and the blog posts I was able to find about the subject weren't unanimous either (and they were mostly quite dated anyway). I'm building a greenfield Liberty installation, so I have no technological debt to worry about. Making a sound and future-proof choice is my priority here - I really want to avoid setting myself up for a migration project to correct a bad choice one or three years down the road. So, I'm soliciting your input: Which implementation did you choose, and why? If you could make the choice anew for a greenfield Liberty installation, would you make the same one?
