Actually, it does.

In our production environment, hundreds of VM lost their network connection
because agents
 deleted all the flows even if the neutron servers were very busy.
We are still maintaining Neutron icehouse. The logical is the same with
HEAD.

We don't use tunnel yet. Only VLAN:
$ neutron net-show e8aba58a-6750-4e65-bf03-ab7c8875c310
....
| provider:network_type | vlan |
| provider:physical_network | physnet556 |
| provider:segmentation_id | 556 |
