Comment 23 for bug 1719196

To further reinforce what Christian said, the Newton cloud-archive also uses virtio-mmio for its address type. (See my comment#15)

Newton XML:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='fa:16:3e:8e:fc:48'/>
      <source bridge='qbrb5d335fc-46'/>
      <target dev='tapb5d335fc-46'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <alias name='net0'/>
      <address type='virtio-mmio'/>
    </interface>

but we have proven this works with Newton. Is it fair to say this could be attributed to a change in OVS, between Newton and Ocata?
