[PetiteCloud] Network bridge tap and options

I was thinking. There seems to be a movement away from bridges and taps 
for guest vm's to host vm's. vSwtch popularity from VMWare is a big 
indicator of that.

I recently came across OpenSwitch which is suppose to be a a completely 
free and open solution that provides similar functionality to vSwitch 
and can create private guest network across physical nodes. It appears 
to be a much easier solution to work with instead of trying to manually 
build and tear down the networking and then having to mess with the 
physical switches.

Just a thought.
