[ovs-discuss] what is "ovs-system" used for

[Li, Chen]

Hi list,

I'm working under openvswitch + Openstack, and everything works fine.

When I run command "ip link", I can find :
8: ovs-system: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN
    link/ether 5e:d0:3a:8a:15:7b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

But, I can't find where this device actually work.
I wonder anyone can provide me some information about this ?
Why this device exist ?
What is it used for ?
Any performance/function affections ?

Thanks.
