Hi Nir,

The monolithic Open vSwitch and Linux Bridge plug-ins - have they been deprecated and/or removed, and if so, with which release did that happen?

Thanks

Hi Charelle,

Monolithic OVS and LB were removed from the code base in OSP 6 / Juno.

Comment 6 Martin Lopes 2017-03-06 01:08:36 UTC
LGTM, merged.

Looks like backporting is needed too.

Comment 7 Charelle Collett 2017-03-06 03:48:35 UTC
Created new bug for backporting, as this is separate from the original bug here.
