Hi Howon, let me see if I understand your question.
With a network that has a number of subnets, you can typically install static interface routes to each one and communicate directly with VMs on those subnets, instead of forwarding via the router. With ML2/OVS the dhcp-agent does actually do this and it works.
With OVN I'm not sure the built-in DHCP responder does this, but since everything is just switched is there really a need to?

Is the goal just to eliminate the router "hop" ?
