Hey Frank
It's a replacement for linux bridge at the moment.
It uses ova-vsctl to create and check bridge interfaces and it used the virtualinterface tags in libvirt to create the virtual interfaces with ovs. The main reason for doing this type of integration was that openvswitch is required on a KVM hypervisor for it to be used with Nicira and the CloudStack nicira plugin. So i needed to make sure that bridge configuration could work with ovs.
Cheers,
Hugo

Curious question, what level of support do we have in this feature?
Is it a simple replacement for Linux bridge? Or have some openflow features been used for isolation or firewall?

It is part of the CloudStack installation manual. The chapter on KVM was updated with the open vswitch details.

I don't know which versions of xenserver support openvswitch, but I'm using 5.6, 6.0 and 6.0.2

I think you mean CloudStack :-)
KVM has no version numbers as far as I know. Most of the tests have been done on a gentoo system with a recent kernel and openvswitch 1.7.1 and libvirt 0.9.11
But centos 6.3 works as well, provided the libvirt has the correct version. I validated the procedures in the installation manual with a centos 6.3 system.
