Intended to use ovs with lxc before, but lxc only support linux bridge:
int lxc_bridge_attach(const char *bridge, const char *ifname)
{
int fd, index, err;
struct ifreq ifr;if (strlen(ifname) >= IFNAMSIZ)
return -EINVAL;index = if_nametoindex(ifname);
if (!index)
return -EINVAL;process_lock();
fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
process_unlock();
if (fd < 0)
return -errno;strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, bridge, IFNAMSIZ);
ifr.ifr_ifindex = index;
err = ioctl(fd, SIOCBRADDIF, &ifr);
process_lock();
close(fd);
process_unlock();
if (err)
err = -errno;return err;
}
here we can see only linux bridg supported, if you try to attach to ovs, it fails.
with help from a friend, had some changes here:

This patch was made for lxc in ubuntu 13.10, I have it build in my ppa. binary package can be found from my ppa
ppa:zhengpeng-hou/dev.
So now, I have all my containers bridged to my home network directly.
