- OVS_BRIDGE: If TYPE is anything other than "OVSBridge", set to
the name of the OVS bridge to which the port should be attached.
- BOND_IFACES: For "OVSBond" interfaces, a list of physical
interfaces to bond together.
+ - OVS_TUNNEL_TYPE: For "OVSTunnel" interfaces, the type of the tunnel.
+ For example, "gre", "vxlan", etc.
+
+ - OVS_TUNNEL_OPTIONS: For "OVSTunnel" interfaces, this field should be
+ used to specify the tunnel options like remote_ip, key, etc.
+
+ - OVS_PATCH_PEER: For "OVSPatchPort" devices, this field specifies
+ the patch's peer on the other bridge.
