L2 agent extensions
===================
L2 agent extensions are part of a generalized L2/L3 extension framework. See
:doc:`agent extensions <agent_extensions>`.
Open vSwitch agent API
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* neutron.plugins.ml2.drivers.openvswitch.agent.ovs_agent_extension_api
Open vSwitch agent API object includes two methods that return wrapped and
hardened bridge objects with cookie values allocated for calling extensions::
#. request_int_br
#. request_tun_br
Bridge objects returned by those methods already have new default cookie values
allocated for extension flows. All flow management methods (add_flow, mod_flow,
...) enforce those allocated cookies.
