These network managers eventually included a bridging tool as a default gateway for instances in a compute node.
On the other hand, for management and security reasons, it might be considered limited for the following reasons:
- Flat network: This is a single IP pool and layer 2 domain without tenant isolation
- VLAN network: This ...
