Key-value pairs that identify this bridge's role in external systems.
The currently defined key-value pairs are:

- <dt><code>xs-network-uuids</code></dt>
- <dd>Space-delimited set of the Citrix XenServer network UUIDs with
- which this bridge is associated.</dd>
- <dt><code>xs-network-names</code></dt>
- <dd>Semicolon-delimited set of Citrix XenServer network names with
- which this bridge is associated.</dd>
+ <dt><code>network-uuids</code></dt>
+ <dd>Semicolon-delimited set of universally unique identifier(s) for
+ the network with which this bridge is associated. The form of the
+ identifier(s) depends on the type of the host. On a Citrix
+ XenServer host, the network identifiers are RFC 4122 UUIDs as
+ displayed by, e.g., <code>xe network-list</code>.</dd>

<dt><code>tap</code></dt>
<dd>A TUN/TAP device managed by Open vSwitch.</dd>
<dt><code>gre</code></dt>
- <dd>A GRE tunnel device managed by Open vSwitch.</dd>
+ <dd>An Ethernet over RFC 1702 Generic Routing Encapsulation over IPv4
+ tunnel. Each tunnel must be uniquely identified by the
+ combination of <code>remote_ip</code>, <code>local_ip</code>, and
+ <code>in_key</code>. Note that if two ports are defined that are
+ the same except one has an optional identifier and the other does
+ not, the more specific one is matched first. <code>in_key</code>
+ is considered more specific than <code>local_ip</code> if a port
+ defines one and another port defines the other. The arguments
+ are:
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>remote_ip</code></dt>
+ <dd>Required. The tunnel endpoint.</dd>
+ </dl>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>local_ip</code></dt>
+ <dd>Optional. The destination IP that received packets must
+ match. Default is to match all addresses.</dd>
+ </dl>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>in_key</code></dt>
+ <dd>Optional. The GRE key that received packets must contain.
+ It may either be a 32-bit number (no key and a key of 0 are
+ treated as equivalent) or the word <code>flow</code>. If
+ <code>flow</code> is specified then any key will be accepted
+ and the key will be placed in the <code>tun_id</code> field
+ for matching in the flow table. The ovs-ofctl manual page
+ contains additional information about matching fields in
+ OpenFlow flows. Default is no key.</dd>
+ </dl>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>out_key</code></dt>
+ <dd>Optional. The GRE key to be set on outgoing packets. It may
+ either be a 32-bit number or the word <code>flow</code>. If
+ <code>flow</code> is specified then the key may be set using
+ the <code>set_tunnel</code> Nicira OpenFlow vendor extension (0
+ is used in the absense of an action). The ovs-ofctl manual
+ page contains additional information about the Nicira OpenFlow
+ vendor extensions. Default is no key.</dd>
+ </dl>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>key</code></dt>
+ <dd>Optional. Shorthand to set <code>in_key</code> and
+ <code>out_key</code> at the same time.</dd>
+ </dl>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>tos</code></dt>
+ <dd>Optional. The value of the ToS bits to be set on the
+ encapsulating packet. It may also be the word
+ <code>inherit</code>, in which case the ToS will be copied from
+ the inner packet if it is IPv4 or IPv6 (otherwise it will be
+ 0). Note that the ECN fields are always inherited. Default is
+ 0.</dd>
+ </dl>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>ttl</code></dt>
+ <dd>Optional. The TTL to be set on the encapsulating packet.
+ It may also be the word <code>inherit</code>, in which case the
+ TTL will be copied from the inner packet if it is IPv4 or IPv6
+ (otherwise it will be the system default, typically 64).
+ Default is the system default TTL.</dd>
+ </dl>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>csum</code></dt>
+ <dd>Optional. Compute GRE checksums for outgoing packets and
+ require checksums for incoming packets. Default is enabled,
+ set to <code>false</code> to disable.</dd>
+ </dl>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>pmtud</code></dt>
+ <dd>Optional. Enable tunnel path MTU discovery. If enabled
+ ``ICMP destination unreachable - fragmentation'' needed
+ messages will be generated for IPv4 packets with the DF bit set
+ and IPv6 packets above the minimum MTU if the packet size
+ exceeds the path MTU minus the size of the tunnel headers. It
+ also forces the encapsulating packet DF bit to be set (it is
+ always set if the inner packet implies path MTU discovery).
+ Note that this option causes behavior that is typically
+ reserved for routers and therefore is not entirely in
+ compliance with the IEEE 802.1D specification for bridges.
+ Default is enabled, set to <code>false</code> to disable.</dd>
+ </dl>
+ </dd>
+ <dt><code>patch</code></dt>
+ <dd>A pair of virtual devices that act as a patch cable. A
+ <code>peer</code> argument is required that indicates the name
+ of the other side of the patch. Since a patch must work in
+ pairs, a second patch interface must be declared with the
+ <code>name</code> and <code>peer</code> arguments reversed.</dd>
