[libvirt-users] [Libvir] libvirt & vde_switch

[Robert Šmol]

For my needs I would like to see either vdeswitch or openvswitch 
integrated in the project. Is there any preference from the 
users/developers on which one of those I should start looking into?

Also I would like to know how this should be integrated, from the mails 
I can see devs prefers to have virtual switch present as a network. Can 
someone describe how the integration should be done? Support for 
additional features like vlan, QoS?
