For my needs I would like to see either vdeswitch or openvswitch
integrated in the project. Is there any preference from the
users/developers on which one of those I should start looking into?
Also I would like to know how this should be integrated, from the mails
I can see devs prefers to have virtual switch present as a network. Can
someone describe how the integration should be done? Support for
additional features like vlan, QoS?

From the thread it seems the maintainers would like to have a network
based on VDE. To me it also looks like better idea (create vde network
and then just attach the domain to a network.
