Phase 1 of observability plan: mapped the complete OVN topology at
logical (NB), physical (SB), and OVS layers. Traced packet path from
LAN through VIP LB to HAProxy backends. Documented naming conventions,
gateway failover, Geneve tunnels, and MTU implications.
Deliverables:
- notes/ovn-deep-dive.md: comprehensive OVN internals guide
- incusos/helpers/ovn-inspect: --nb/--sb/--ovs/--full/--trace actions
- .claude/rules/ovn-internals.md: context for AI assistants
