Public bug reported: Currently, both the Open vSwitch and Linux Bridge mechanism drivers for the ML2 plugin have their own agents. This means that when improvements are made to one agent implementation, they have to be ported over to the other agent to gain the improvement. This has already happened, with patches like https://review.openstack.org/#/c/138512/ . Much of the functionality that both the OVS and Linux Bridge agents provide is common enough that much of the code could be shared.
