OVS agent support on Hyper-V
Open vSwitch is being ported to Hyper-V as part of a joint effort between VMWare and Cloudbase Solutions [1].
Neutron support is one of the primary use cases for this effort and consequently the Neutron OVS L2 agent needs to be ported to Windows.
The OVS agent is largely portable due to the fact that OVS configurations are applied by the agent by spawning CLI commands (e.g. ovs-vsctl, ovs-ofctl). The OVS CLI surface remains mostly identical on both Linux and Windows platforms.
The porting needs to consider some Linux specific paradigms (e.g. root wrap execution) that don't apply on Windows, along with differences in switch port naming between Linux and Hyper-V.
