[ovs-dev] [OVS-dev]: OVN: RFC re: logical and physical endpoint separation proposal

[Na Zhu]

Hi Dball,

I am not clear about the localnet workflow, pls clarify, thanks.
The current usage of ovn provider network is like this,
1, first create ovs bridge which connects to provider network, for example
br-provider
$ ovs-vsctl add-br br-provider

2, create a mapping between network and bridge
$ ovs-vsctl set open . \
external-ids:ovn-bridge-mappings=providernet:br-provider

3, create neutron provider network, the --provider:physical_network is the
network name in step 2.
$ neutron net-create provider --shared \
--provider:physical_network providernet \
--provider:network_type flat

In your localnet case, are the above steps still need?
If not, how to get the mapping between network and bridge?
