>>1.) They use a linux bridge to apply netfilter firewall. 
yes. (1 bridge by tap)

>>2.) They use an OVS bridge and plug in the linux bridge (using veth pair?) 
not anymore, because of performance problems. now, they plug ovsint port to 
bridge

>>3.) They use an (GRE) tunnel to a dedicated network host? 
I'm not sure,
but they use gre or vxlan, to have a internals vm networks across hosts.

(can be done too with kernel 3.10 and vxlan)

BTW, do I understand the OpenStack network correctly? 

1.) They use a linux bridge to apply netfilter firewall. 
2.) They use an OVS bridge and plug in the linux bridge (using veth pair?) 
3.) They use an (GRE) tunnel to a dedicated network host? 

Not sure if that is correct, but I do not believe that is faster.
