Description of problem: In order to connect gateway routers and distributed routers to a localnet today, we have to use a switch on every node. This switch has no reason to exist, except to provide a localnet port. This is a request to remove that restriction and allow routers to directly attach to a localnet. Today's topology: OVN distributed router----join switch---gateway router----external switch--localnet Desired topology OVN distributed router----join switch---gateway router-----localnet This will remove the need to have an external switch per node, reducing the potentially thousands of useless logical switches configured in our topology, which will reduce overhead and make things clearer topology wise.
