Issue

Open vSwitch internal ports are up although they should be down in Red Hat OpenStack Platform

ifup <ovs-bridge> enables OVS internal ports which leaks BUM traffic to the kernel. OVS bridge internal ports (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2530481) should be switched off by default, or they will cause leaks of BUM traffic against the kernel, which is particularly problematic with DPDK.

Environment

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10
