Description ffernand 2021-04-29 19:19:05 UTC 
Right now, the IDL connections between ml2/ovn are not resilient
enough when connecting. It doesn't make sense to give up on that
since the ml2/ovn is useless w/out that access.

If ovsdb-server is slow and takes more than timeout seconds, everything
reconnecting after partial downloads and starting over is not going to
make things better. That is particularly likely to happen when the OVN
DB is very large.
