[ovs-discuss] openvswitch on openstack

[FengYu LeiDian]

Hi, all

Standard openstack has a Linux bridge on top of openvswitch bridge[1]
this Linux bridge is used to setup iptables rule to allow VM access
to the outside world, for example, allow VM port 22 access, so external
host could ssh to this VM.

Can openvswitch bridge has the same mechanism to be allowed to set rules
as the same effort as that of iptables linux bridge?


Thanks
