.. note::
L2 population is a special mechanism driver that optimizes BUM (Broadcast,
unknown destination address, multicast) traffic in the overlay networks
VXLAN and GRE. It needs to be used in conjunction with either the
VXLAN, GRE and Geneve. It needs to be used in conjunction with either the
Linux bridge or the Open vSwitch mechanism driver and cannot be used as
standalone mechanism driver. For more information, see the
*Mechanism drivers* section below.

* OVN
The administrator must configure some additional configuration options for
the mechanism driver. When this driver is used, architecture of the Neutron
application in the cluster is different from what it is with other drivers
like e.g. Open vSwitch or Linuxbridge.
For details, see :ref:`OVN reference architecture<refarch-refarch>`.
* SRIOV
The SRIOV driver accepts all PCI vendor devices.

* SRIOV mechanism driver and SRIOV NIC switch agent
Can only be used for instance network attachments (device_owner = compute).
