Bug Description

The NSX plugin implements a "logical switch chaining" logic for implementing flat/vlan neutron networks with a very large number of ports on NSX backends for which the number of ports per logical switch is limited.

This limitation however pertains exclusively to now old and discontinued versions of NSX, and therefore the corresponding logic for creating such chained switches can be removed.

    NSX: Remove logic for creating chained logical switches

    This patch removes the logic for creating chained local switches in
    the NSX backend for Neutron networks with flat or vlan bindings.
    Switch chaining as a feature is no more useful since the underlying
    backend limitation has been long removed.

    Existing networks backed by chained switches will continue to work.
    The configuration parameters concerning the maximum number of ports
    per logical switch are still honoured for backward compatibility,
    but these parameters will be marked for deprecation.
