The document is describing OpenStack networking components including Linux bridges, Open vSwitch, virtual network interfaces (TAP and VETH), and how they work together to provide virtual networking.
It explains that TAP interfaces connect virtual machines to hypervisors, VETH pairs connect virtual bridges, Linux bridges act as hubs to connect multiple interfaces, and Open vSwitch bridges act like virtual switches with configurable ports and VLAN tagging. Traffic flows through these components via OpenFlow rules with tags added or stripped as needed.
