What is an openstack port?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am trying to map the notion of an openstack port to an IP abstraction. In the openstack documentation I see :
"A port is a connection point for attaching a single device, such as the NIC of a server, to a network. The port also describes the associated network configuration, such as the MAC and IP addresses to be used on that port."
So I assume a port must correspond to an IP interface (which in turn can map to a bridge, an ethernet interface or to one end of a veth link).
Is this a correct assumption? I am trying to figure out what IP abstraction maps to a loadbalancer port and I can't yet find it.
Thanks

Answering my own question (hopefully of help to others):
An openstack port corresponds to an ovs (or linnuxbridge) port that connects you up to a virtual network. A prefix of the port ID is used as a bridge name. You can create a port to a network and add it to a router.
